FRANKFURT, Germany (AP) - Germany coach Joachim LÃ¶w called up two debutants on Friday for Nations League games against Ukraine and Spain and a friendly against the Czech Republic.

LÃ¶w named PSV Eindhoven defender Philipp Max and Augsburg defender Felix Uduokhai in his 29-member squad. Thilo Kehrer, Ilkay GÃ¼ndogan and Leroy SanÃ© also returned after missing the October internationals.

Germany plays the Czech Republic on Nov. 11 in Leipzig, and then hosts Ukraine in the same city three days later. The team then travels to play Spain in Seville on Nov. 17.

Bayern defender Niklas SÃ¼le and Chelsea midfielder Kai Havertz will miss the games after testing positive for the coronavirus. The matches are supposed to take place under strict hygiene measures to prevent further infections.

Most of the squad will assemble in Leipzig on Monday, with the Bayern contingent, Borussia MÃ¶nchengladbach defender Matthias Ginter, Real Madrid forward Toni Kroos and Chelsea forward Timo Werner joining on Tuesday. The eight late arrivals are only expected to play in the Nations League games.
