A Leeds United star’s performances have been rewarded with a big international call.

Leeds United midfielder Anton Stach’s displays have been rewarded with a call-up to the Germany national squad under their new high profile boss.

German midfielder Stach continually impressed in his first season at Leeds after joining the club from TSG Hoffenheim last summer and the 27-year-old’s displays led to an international recall with Germany for March’s international friendlies.

Stach was named in boss Julian Nagelsmann’s squad for the March friendlies against Switzerland and Ghana, Stach getting ten minutes from the bench against Switzerland but an unused substitute in the game against Ghana.

The Whites star appeared on course for a place in the team’s World Cup squad but Stach suffered an ankle injury towards the end of the season, casting any potential place in the squad in doubt.

The injury was ultimately not serious yet Stach was still omitted from Nagelsmann’s squad for this summer’s tournament in the USA, Mexico and Canada.

Without him, Germany progressed to the competition’s knockout stages as winners of Group E but the team then suffered a shock exit in the last 32 through a 4-3 defeat on penalties to Paraguay following a 1-1 draw after extra-time.

Boss Nagelsmann resigned from his role following the disappointing exit and Germany then appointed former Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp as their new head coach.

The appointment offered a fresh opportunity to Stach and Klopp has now named the Whites star in a huge 44-man squad for the upcoming Nations League games during the three-week September and October international break.

Klopp has selected two squads, one each for two games against Netherlands, Greece (home and away) and Serbia.
