After the 1–0 defeat by Greece, Klopp rotated the squad as planned, with six players remaining.

Karl missed the tournament after suffering a muscle tear during final training before the United States test in Chicago.

Following a strong season, Julian Nagelsmann left El Mala out of the World Cup squad, and he could now debut.

Karl and El Mala know each other from youth teams, trained individually, and could play together on the wings.

If you look at the game against Greece, where the opponent sits quite deep, you obviously have to create some spaces. And I think you can do that relatively well with the two of them if you don't just play to their feet, but also behind the defensive line.
— Vitaly Janelt, commenting on the use of Karl and El Mala in the DFB team ahead of the Greece game
