After an impressive start to life in Hamburg, HSV’s 20-year-old midfielder Adrian Fein has been rewarded with his first-ever call-up to the German under-21 national side during the upcoming international break. After the end of the previous under-21 cycle with the European Championship in June and July, a new cycle is underway with players born in 1998 or later. DFB coach Stefan Kuntz’s squad is made up of three of the team who came runners-up in Italy over the summer, as well as 19 new faces, including Fein. The road to the next European championships begins in Zwickau on the 5th September with a game against Greece, before the squad travels to Wrexham on the 10th September for a match-up with Wales. Fein managed one appearance for the German under-20 side, after featuring seven times for the under-19 team and four times for the under-18 German contingent.
