Marvin Schwäbe has been contacted by the German Football Association. The 1. FC Köln goalkeeper is now part of the extended circle of the national team. FC is happy about this development.
Is Marvin Schwäbe still jumping on the DFB train in his own country a year before the 2024 European Championship? At least the 1. FC Köln goalkeeper has cleared the next hurdle. DFB goalkeeping coach Andreas Kronenberg contacted the 28-year-old and informed him that he was now part of the extended group of DFB goalkeepers for national coach Hansi Flick.
Schwäbe ranks behind Manuel Neuer, Marc-André ter Stegen, Kevin Trapp, Oliver Baumann and Bernd Leno. It is not yet known who else is on the goalkeeper list. An honor for Schwäbe and a sign of appreciation after a strong year and a half as the new number one at 1. FC Köln.
Can Schwäbe hope for a nomination?
A corresponding report by BILD confirmed to GEISSBLOG Thomas Kessler, himself a long-time FC keeper and current license player manager. “We have a good exchange with the national coach and his team,” said Kessler. “Therefore, as a club, we are of course informed about such events. It shows that Marvin has developed well with us.”
Schwäbe could become the next German international after Jonas Hector, who ended his career in the summer. It is unclear whether the goalkeeper will actually be nominated in the coming months. After all, national coach Flick has come under pressure and, according to many experts, should reduce further personnel experiments to a minimum with a view to the EM.

But Schwäbe knows: As the third goalkeeper, there could well be the opportunity to go on an international trip in the coming months. After all, Neuer is not yet fit again, so there could be an opportunity behind ter Stegen and Trapp. Leno, who now plays for Fulham FC, was last called up.
“In the end it’s up to Marvin. Anyone who sees Marvin in his daily work at the moment will notice that this is another incentive for him,” said Kessler, referring to the training sessions under goalkeeping coach Uwe Gospodarek. “I still don’t see him at the limit of his performance.” And so the FC keeper has another reason to continue to draw attention to himself with another strong Bundesliga season.
