Germany: Julian Nagelsmann is expected to have captain Joshua Kimmich, Florian Wirtz and Manuel Neuer available for the opener, while Jamal Musiala has recovered sufficiently to challenge for a starting place after recent fitness concerns. There is competition up front between Kai Havertz, Deniz Undav and Nick Woltemade, with Undav widely tipped to lead the attack.
