The scenario: first game in command
Jürgen Klopp's debut as Germany manager ended in a 1-1 draw with the Netherlands on Thursday in Amsterdam for the UEFA Nations League.
How the Game Unfolded
Felix Nmecha put Germany ahead in the 32nd minute, and the visiting fans dreamed of a debut victory.
Musiala, from Bayern de Munique , did not even enter the field: he was cut shortly before the start due to a muscle injury suffered in the warm-up.
What Klopp said about the exams
Speaking to broadcaster RTL, Klopp explained that both players underwent MRI scans on the same afternoon.
"Both of them are undergoing MRI now. I hope to have the diagnosis by Thursday night. Obviously it's not good. Hopefully nothing serious. Both are probably out, but I hope they come back soon", said the technician.
Who can substitute against Greece
For the match against Greece on Sunday, Klopp cited Nick Woltemade or Jonathan Burkardt as possible attack reinforcements.
The technician's look at his own debut
Asked if he was able to take advantage of the occasion, Klopp was direct: "I enjoy moments with 4-0 on the scoreboard.
He compared the situation to his arrival in Liverpool, when he also had little time to work with the group: "It was only two days of training. It takes more than two days to develop a new way of playing. We just scratched the surface, we have to go deeper".
On the result, he evaluated: "If someone said it was a draw we would accept. But I feel that we lost two points. I understand that Xavi thought they could have won. I am satisfied with the night".
Where Germany is now
Klopp's team finishes the first leg with a draw and two important medical doubts Havertz and Musiala await MRI results before their match against Greece on Sunday.
