Leon Goretzka to miss Germany's debut under Jürgen Klopp

Leon Goretzka is set to miss the upcoming international matches under new German national team coach Jürgen Klopp. The 31-year-old midfielder, who recently joined Aston Villa on a free transfer from FC Bayern München, announced via Instagram that he requires a short break to recover from physical strain following his recent move.

Goretzka stated that his body reacted to the increased workload after his hiatus, noting, “That is frustrating, but I need this short break now to get back into top form.” He intends to use the upcoming international break to recover fully before committing himself to both Aston Villa and the national team.
