Eintracht Frankfurt defender Nnamdi Collins targets Germany national team return

Eintracht Frankfurt centre‑back Nnamdi Collins, 22, made his Germany national team debut in September 2025 under former coach Julian Nagelsmann. The debut coincided with a 0‑2 loss to Slovakia in a World Cup qualifier, prompting heavy criticism of his performance.

Collins says he is determined to regain his place in the national side, hoping a stronger showing in the upcoming Bundesliga season under new coach Adi Hütter will help. He also revealed that Nagelsmann phoned him during his recent ankle‑sprain rehab, offering encouragement. Collins aims to assume a leadership role at both club and country levels this season.
