Klopp's first appearance: a surprise UEFA decision spoils Germany's plan before facing the Netherlands

UEFA have made a decision over tonight's Nations League clash between the Netherlands and Germany, according to a press report published on Thursday.

Jürgen Klopp will not see his players in green for his first match in charge of the Germany side.

The German national team had been due to wear a reissued version of the reserve kit from the 1990 World Cup.

The newspaper "Bild" reports that UEFA banned the kit for two reasons. First, the three stripes extend to the end of the sleeves, an area reserved for the tournament's logos. Second, the players' numbers were not visible on the chest.

Germany will instead play in an all-black kit, the last shirt Adidas designed before Nike takes over in 2027.

 The set had originally been due for release on 3 November, then a first outing on 16 November against the Netherlands in Berlin.

 Speaking at Wednesday's press conference, Klopp said: "Everyone will love it. It is fantastic".
