Schlotterbeck had played the entirety of Germany’s opening game at the 2026 World Cup – a 7-1 win against Curacao – scoring their second goal.

“It could have been his World Cup. Yesterday, we all tried to lift his spirits – fortunately, he is a very positive character who is already looking ahead again.
“It is a very positive sign that he will initially remain here within the team, because he also has an influence off the pitch.”
Germany’s remaining centre-back options are Jonathan Tah, Rudiger, Waldemar Anton and Newcastle’s Malick Thiaw.
Schlotterbeck had been linked with a move away from Borussia Dortmund but signed a contract extension, external with them until 2031 in April.
