Joshua Kimmich — Germany World Cup 2026 Squad

Joshua Kimmich is still one of the safest hands in the Germany squad when the match starts demanding judgement rather than speed. He is 31, he plays for Bayern Munich, and he has 102 caps with 11 goals. This dataset lists him as a defender, but the real point is his range. He can start deeper, move inside, and keep Germany organised while still giving them quality on the ball and on set pieces. In tournament football that sort of reliability matters. One whipped delivery, one calm switch out of pressure, one well-read interception can decide a tie. Germany need Kimmich for those moments as much as for the ordinary ones.
