Lee Man FC Overview

FC Cologne star Said El Mala has been included in Jurgen Klopp's first Germany squad for the upcoming international fixtures. The 20-year-old forward could now become the first Cologne player to represent the senior national team since 2019.

The euphoria over a successful late burst in the transfer window with the signings of Fabio Vieira and co. has thoroughly evaporated at Hamburg SV.

Record Germany international Lothar Matthäus (65) advises Germany coach Jürgen Klopp (59) to rely in future on Said El Mala (20) of 1. FC Cologne in the Germany team. At the same time, he stressed that the young forward could also have played a role at the botched World Cup under Klopp’s predecessor Julian Nagelsmann (39).
