The team's striker, Nick Woltemade, has made a strong start with Newcastle United this season, scoring in both the Premier League and European competitions. He recently recovered from the flu and joined the team for individual training on Wednesday.

Woltemade's performance has caught the attention of fans and critics alike, with some expressing surprise at his transfer to Newcastle United from VfB Stuttgart for a reported 60 million euros. Bayern Munich's board member, Karl-Heinz Rummenigge, had previously criticized the move.

Germany's coach, Julian Nagelsmann, has also been monitoring the team's health, with goalkeeper Oliver Baumann returning to training on Wednesday. This comes after the late call-up of Freiburg's goalkeeper, Noah Atubolu, on Monday.

The World Cup qualifiers are crucial for Germany, as the top team in the group will qualify for the 2026 tournament, while the second-placed team will participate in the playoffs.
