According to a report by Barca Universal on Thursday November 5, 2026, Barcelona forward Karim Adeyemi has been left out of Germany's squad for their upcoming UEFA Nations League fixtures, while goalkeeper Marc-André ter Stegen has received a call-up from manager Jürgen Klopp.
Germany will face Serbia away from home on November 13 before hosting the Netherlands on November 16 in their two Nations League matches.
Adeyemi's omission comes after a difficult spell in front of goal for the Barcelona attacker, who joined the Spanish champions from Borussia Dortmund during the summer transfer window.
The 24-year-old initially made a positive impression following his arrival at Camp Nou and was rewarded with a place in Germany's squad during the previous international break.
However, his recent performances have not been as productive as expected, with the forward failing to score in his last seven appearances for Barcelona across all competitions.
His lack of goals could have influenced Klopp's decision to leave him out of the latest squad.
The latest development represents another disappointment for Adeyemi, who was also excluded from Germany's squad for the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
The forward had hoped to establish himself as an important member of the national team after receiving another opportunity during the previous international break.
Meanwhile, Ter Stegen has been included in the squad despite spending the season away from Barcelona.
The German goalkeeper joined Ajax on loan during the summer in search of regular playing time after losing his position at Barcelona.
His return to consistent football in the Netherlands has helped keep him in the national team picture.
Ter Stegen is also expected to play an important role in Germany's goalkeeping plans following Manuel Neuer's retirement from international football.
The former Barcelona captain is now hoping to establish himself as Germany's first-choice goalkeeper and use the upcoming Nations League matches to strengthen his position.
His inclusion is another positive development for the 34-year-old, who will be eager to make the most of the opportunity.
While Ter Stegen will be looking forward to representing Germany, Adeyemi must now concentrate on rediscovering his goalscoring form at Barcelona.
The attacker will hope that improved performances in the coming weeks can convince Klopp to recall him for future international assignments.
