Schlotterbeck has started alongside Antonio Rudiger at centre-back against Denmark after Tah served a suspension. Following a booking accumulation in the group stage, with the Borussia Dortmund defender impressing. But the German publication says the 24-year-old will have to make way for Tah, who returns from suspension.
According to the report, Schlotterbeck played the full 90 minutes of the 2-0 win over Denmark. Providing one assist, winning four headers, having two goal attempts, 80 touches, 59 successful passes, five clearances and two recoveries.
However, Nagelsmann will still rely on the Rudiger-Tah partnership for Friday’s Euro 2024 quarter-final clash with Spain. While Schlotterbeck will once again be dropped from the bench despite the 24-year-old’s fine form in recent games.
Schlotterbeck said he was “incredibly looking forward to the game in Stuttgart”.
