Bild: Musiala, Havertz, Rudiger will not officially play until December

Hupu News, October 12th, the German media "Bild" calculated the dates of the German international players' return to the field today.

ter Stegen (33 years old):

Although he is still Germany's number one goalkeeper, he has been sidelined since July this year due to a recurring back injury. He had previously been troubled by a torn patellar tendon and had only played two national team games in the past year. His expected position as the main player in the World Cup was in jeopardy. In addition to relying on Barcelona's medical team, the goalkeeper also relied on the plans of a French therapist during his recovery.

Rudiger (32 years old):

The German team's defense leader suffered a thigh strain on September 12, shortly after the September international match. The specific time for his comeback has not yet been determined, and Rudiger insists on a strategy of cautious recovery and risk avoidance. It is planned that he will return to the Real Madrid lineup during December and fully prepare for the 2026 competition.

Henrichs (28 years old):

Since rupturing his Achilles tendon in December 2024, the full-back has had a long road to recovery. After spending time at Red Bull rehabilitation centers in Austria and Los Angeles, he is currently working hard to return to training at the Leipzig training base - the return plan originally scheduled for August has been postponed to November. The German team needs his experience and willpower. The last time he played the entire game in a jersey will be traced back to November 2024.

Muciala (22 years old):

After suffering a fibula fracture during the Club World Cup on July 5, the German midfielder gradually began to recover. At present, he has achieved jogging on the anti-gravity treadmill carrying 80% of his body weight. The recovery timetable shows that he will gradually increase the intensity of training in November, with the goal of returning to the game in December, but the team adheres to the zero-risk principle: Musiala must stay in top condition for the important mission of the club and national team in 2026.

Haverts (26 years old):

The forward has been troubled by knee injuries for a long time and underwent surgery at the end of August. He plans to return to training in November, and a December debut is more realistic. Two games for the national team in November will be too early for him, which will be exactly one year since his last international appearance.

Kleindienst (30 years old):

He scored the most recent goal scored by a Zhengyin center in the German team in the 3:3 draw against Italy on March 23, 2025. Borussia has not won a league match since he underwent meniscus surgery in May and his contribution will be deeply missed. The original plan to return in mid-to-late October may be difficult to realize: although he has resumed running and ball training, he is still unable to participate in team training.

Phil Kruger (32 years old):

Achilles tendon inflammation and thigh injury - The forward has suffered from recent injuries and has only played twice for the national team in the past year. This time he was originally scheduled to be selected as a substitute for Llewelyn (24 years old) who suffered an adductor injury, but he suffered a torn thigh muscle at West Ham United and will be absent for several weeks. According to "Bild" news, he will undergo an MRI examination in the next few days to clarify the extent of the injury.
