VfB Stuttgart trio nominated for Germanys World Cup squadDeniz Undav, Angelo Stiller and Jamie Leweling have been called up to Germanys 2026 FIFA World Cup squad, but three players are missing from the DFB Pokal finalists.As reported by Kicker, Chris Fhrich, Maximilian Mittelstdt and Josha Vagnoman will not be included in Thursdays 26-man squad announcement.Vagnomans omission perhaps doesnt come as a surprise, but the absences of Mittelstdt and Fhrich certainly go. The former has scored six goals and provided four assists in 32 Bundesliga appearances in 2025/26 as VfB secured UEFA Champions League football, while has also been in exceptional form with seven goals and eight assists across 33 league appearances this term.Additionally, both players have showcased their versatility having been deployed in several roles throughout the course of the season with Mittelstdt, a left-back by trade, often operating as a left-sided centre-back in a back three.Theres also no news on Alexander Nbel but with Nagelsmann expected to name four goalkeepers in his squad, expect VfBs custodian to be there.GGFN | Daniel Pinder
