Germany’s goalkeeper hierarchy revealed

After it was confirmed on Thursday that Marc-André ter Stegen is Germany’s new first-choice goalkeeper, Bild has now revealed the rest of the goalkeeping pecking order.

On Thursday, Germany coach Jürgen Klopp named two squads comprising a total of 44 players, including five goalkeepers, for the four upcoming UEFA Nations League fixtures.

After Klopp confirmed Marc-André ter Stegen as his first-choice goalkeeper, Bild has now revealed who is currently considered the No. 2 and No. 3 options behind the Ajax goalkeeper.

According to the German tabloid, FC Bayern goalkeeper Jonas Urbig is currently second in the pecking order, with Besiktas shot-stopper Alexander Nübel third.

Each squad will be in contention for two games. If Bild’s information is accurate, ter Stegen could play the first two games, with Urbig featuring in the final two, as the two goalkeepers are in different squads.
