Lennart Karl Faces Fight to Reclaim Germany Place After World Cup Absence

Lennart Karl has returned to Germany duty after missing the World Cup, reporting for training in Herzogenaurach following a difficult three-month spell.

The young player is still looking to recover the form and freedom that previously marked his game. His route back will not be simple, with competition for places in the national squad having intensified during his absence.

Karl now has another chance in the Germany shirt, but must quickly show that he can regain his earlier level in a more demanding selection battle.
