By Tushar Bahl
Three Borussia Dortmund players have been called up by Julian Nagelsmann for Germany's upcoming matches against Bosnia and Herzegovina and the Netherlands.
The Germany squad for the upcoming international break is out and three Borussia Dortmund players have made the cut. Waldemar Anton, Pascal Groß, and Nico Schlotterbeck will be representing the Germany national team for their upcoming UEFA Nations League matches against Bosnia and Herzegovina and the Netherlands.
Nagelsmann has left out in-form Borussia Dortmund forward Karim Adeyemi, who recently picked up a muscle injury. Emre Can and Maximilian Beier, who were in the Germany squad for last month's fixtures, have also failed to make the cut.

Schlotterbeck and Anton will be competing with Antonio Rüdiger, Jonathan Tah, and Robin Koch for playing time during the upcoming international break. While Pascal Groß will hope to start in midfield ahead of Bayern Munich's Aleksandar Pavlović and Stuttgart's Angelo Stiller.
Julian Nagelsmann will also look to establish his new first-choice goalkeeper following the long-term injury suffered by Marc-André ter Stegen. Alexander Nübel and Oliver Baumann are in contention, while Janis Blaswich has also been included in the latest Germany squad.
Elsewhere, Borussia Mönchengladbach striker Tim Kleindienst has been called up to the Germany squad for the very first time, with former Borussia Dortmund striker Niclas Füllkrug sidelined due to injury. Maximilian Beier, meanwhile, has been replaced by Serge Gnabry.
Germany began their Nations League campaign with a 5-0 win over Hungary, before playing out a 2-2 draw against the Netherlands last month.
