Germany continue their preparations for the European Championship when they take on France in a friendly in Lyon on Saturday evening.
Thursday’s training session gave a good indication of how Germany coach Julian Nagelsmann plans to line up, with the 11 players likely to start against France arriving later than the rest of the squad.
This is reported by both Kicker and Bild, who claim that the A-team looks as follows, lining up in a 4-2-3-1:
Marc-André ter Stegen
Joshua Kimmich
Jonathan Tah
Antonio Rüdiger
Maximilian Mittelstädt
Toni Kroos
Robert Andrich
Florian Wirtz
Ilkay Gündogan
Jamal Musiala
Kai Havertz
Germany will be without Jan-Niklas Beste (groin), Jonas Hofmann (hip), Lukas Klostermann (thigh), Manuel Neuer (groin), Aleksandar Pavlović (tonsilitis) and Leroy Sané (suspended).
