Mark Uth has earned a maiden Germany call-up despite the Schalke striker not scoring in six Bundesliga outings this season.
Schalke striker Mark Uth has been named in the Germany squad for the first time ahead of Nations League outings against Netherlands and France.
Uth, 27, joined Schalke on a free transfer in pre-season after catching the eye with Hoffenheim last term, scoring 14 times in the Bundesliga to help Julian Nagelsmann's side qualify for the Champions League.
He is yet to score for his new club despite featuring nine times in all competitions, with Schalke alarmingly second from bottom in the Bundesliga having won just once in six matches.
But Joachim Low has seemingly seen enough from Uth to warrant a first call-up to the senior side.
