The reasons Adeyemi is left out of his national team

Adeyemi dropped from Germany squad despite Klopp's arrival; Barcelona winger has played only 37% of available minutes in recent fixtures.

Karim Adeyemi has been left out of Germany's latest squad for matches against Serbia (13 November) and Netherlands (16 November), a surprise omission from Jürgen Klopp's 24-man selection. The Barcelona winger returned to the squad in September when Klopp took charge, but his playing time has declined sharply since then.

Since the September international break, Adeyemi has featured in only 237 of Barcelona's 630 possible minutes across seven official matches—37% of the total. He started against Betis and Alavés but was benched or unused in the three Champions League games against Galatasaray (31 minutes), PSG (30 minutes) and Aston Villa (no minutes), and managed just five minutes in the league match against Real Madrid.

His output has also dipped. In Barcelona's first eight matches before the September break, Adeyemi scored three goals and provided three assists. In the seven games since, he has managed only one goal, scored in the rout of Galatasaray. The omission marks a setback in his bid to regain prominence with Germany, though Klopp's squad lacks players with his pace, dribbling ability and capacity to exploit space in behind.
