Philipp Max and Felix Uduokhai there for the first time
Joachim Löw has nominated a 29-man XXL squad for the last three international matches of the year. While Niklas Süle, Emre Can and Kai Havertz are canceled due to the corona, Philipp Max and Felix Uduokhai are happy about their first nomination for the DFB national team.
Antonio Rüdiger likes an unambiguous Instagram post. The national player later distanced himself: “If there is one overarching topic in my life, it is the fight against violence and racism.”
An late Friday morning Antonio Rüdiger was still happy. National coach Joachim Löw called the defensive man for the international match against the Czech Republic next Wednesday in Leipzig and the two Nations League games against the Ukraine (November 14th) and in Spain (November 17th). And that despite the fact that the defender had taken on the role of bench press all too often recently at Chelsea. In the national team, however, the native of Berlin continues to enjoy great trust.
All the more amazed, observers later registered an action by Rüdiger. As “Bild” reports, the 27-year-old liked a post by the former cage-fighting world champion Khabib Nurmagomedov from Dagestan.
Nurmagomedov (32) posted the photo of French President Emanuel Macron with a boot print on his face on Instagram. Curses against Macron, who allegedly offended Islam.
“That was a mistake”
Chelsea professional Rüdiger and ex-world champion Mesut Özil have given the humiliating post a “Like” according to “Bild”. Rüdiger has now deleted his like and no longer follows Nurmagomedov on Instagram.
Still, the excitement was great. “That was a mistake. Of course, you shouldn’t like posts that are written in languages you don’t understand. I reject any kind of violence and would therefore like to clearly distance myself from this content, ”said Rüdiger.

“If there is one overarching theme in my life, it is the fight against violence and racism, which I have also experienced myself. Believe me that I will continue to walk this path from the bottom of my heart. That is why I would like to make it clear once again that I am a firm believer, but also a resolute opponent of any violence, ”Rüdiger continued. “I apologize for this like, which I have since withdrawn. Because of course I don’t support such content as in this Instagram post at all. “
According to the report, Rüdiger has now “also phoned national team manager Oliver Bierhoff and explained the matter”. The 35-time national player faces no consequences.
