Bayer Leverkusen's Nadiem Amiri called up to senior Germany squad for Argentina and Estonia internationals
Bayer Leverkusen's Nadiem Amiri is the newest face in Joachim Löw's Germany squad and one of 17 Bundesliga names.
Germany will face Argentina in a friendly before travelling to Estonia to play a qualifier for next summer’s EURO 2020 competition across the continent.
A product of Hoffenheim's youth academy, Amiri has long been a star for the Germany U21s, making 24 appearances and scoring six goals since his debut in March 2016. He joined Leverkusen this past summer and has made five Bundesliga appearances so far in 2019/20, claiming two assists.
Bundesliga stars such as Borussia Dortmund’s Marco Reus, Bayern Munich’s Manuel Neuer and Bayer Leverkusen’s Kai Havertz have all been named in the 21-man squad.
Germany meet Argentina on Wednesday 9 September at the Signal Iduna Park in Dortmund, before travelling to Tallinn to face Estonia four days later at the A. Le Coq Arena.
