“Jonas Urbig is being called up by Julian Nagelsmann for the first time,” reported Sky Germany journalists, marking a significant milestone for the young goalkeeper.
At just 22 years old, Urbig’s inclusion in the national squad comes after a standout performance in Bayern Munich’s recent Champions League match against Atalanta, where he played a starring role in a 4-1 victory. His performance included seven total saves, with six of those occurring inside the box, showcasing his distribution and reflexes.
Urbig’s call-up pushes FC Augsburg goalkeeper Finn Dahmen to standby duty for the March session, as Germany prepares for friendly matches against Switzerland and Ghana. The match against Switzerland is scheduled for 8:45 PM CET, while the game against Ghana will kick off at 8:45 PM CEST.
Germany’s coach, Julian Nagelsmann, has indicated that the squad for these friendlies “would closely resemble” that at the FIFA World Cup this June and July. This suggests that Urbig’s performance could play a crucial role in his future with the national team.
Germany’s squad for March includes 26 players, with Urbig being one of the notable selections after his impressive form this season. He has previously represented Germany at the U21 level, further solidifying his credentials for the senior team.
Following the friendly matches, Germany will face Curaçao in their next World Cup match on June 14. The team’s preparation will also include a further friendly against Finland on May 31 and a final friendly against the USA on June 6.
Urbig and teammate Karl have emerged as stars in Bayern’s season so far, and their performances are being closely monitored as the national team gears up for the World Cup.
Details remain unconfirmed regarding any further developments related to Urbig’s role in the upcoming matches, but his recent achievements have certainly put him in the spotlight.
