Three VfL stars will participate at the 2022 FIFA World Cup: Koen Casteels, Jakub Kaminski and Jonas Wind. While the rest of the Green-and-Whites started an unusually early winter break straight after the victory at TSG Hoffenheim, the Wolves’ World Cup-bound trio were not the only ones to join up with their national teams. In addition to the tournament in Qatar, there are also a number of friendly games lined up. Omar Marmoush, who suffered a bruise to his pelvis in the Hoffenheim game, misses out through injury.
