According to information from the “Bild” newspaper and the “Kicker”, national coach Julian Nagelsmann will appoint Bayern Munich midfielder Alexander Pavlović for the first time.

The 19-year-old will therefore be in the squad for the international matches in France (March 23) and against the Netherlands (March 26).

According to “Bild” and “Kicker,” Leon Goretzka gives way to Pavlović.

The 29-year-old was actually an integral part of the Munich midfield center again recently and impressed with good performances such as the recent 8-1 win against FSV Mainz 05.

Pavlović has made 14 competitive appearances so far this season.

At the end of November, the Bayern professional was still playing for the German U20.

He was born in Munich and his parents are Serbian - so he could also play for the Serbian national team.

The association had recently made intensive efforts to look after him.
