Brajan Gruda has always been a fixture in RB's lineup in the games so far and, as a result, on Klopp's radar. His debut with the national team has now been postponed.

Brajan Gruda's national team debut has been postponed. The RB Leipzig midfielder suffered a lateral abdominal muscle strain during the Bundesliga match against Bayer Leverkusen (0–2). According to the club, the 22-year-old will have to take it easy during the international break and will therefore not be able to join the DFB squad. The DFB announced that no replacement nomination is planned.

Gruda had been named by national team coach Jürgen Klopp for the matches against Serbia on October 1 in Munich and against Greece on October 4 in Thessaloniki.
