Germany team news

Germany boss Julian Nagelsmann will be without several key players, including Jamal Musiala, Kai Havertz, Deniz Undav, Marc-Andre ter Stegen and Nico Schlotterbeck.

Regarding the defense, Nnamdi Collins had a challenging international debut in Slovakia. This could open the door for players like Robin Koch, Karim Adeyemi and Pascal Gross.

In the attacking third, Nick Woltemade will be competing with Niclas Fullkrug for a starting spot, supported by Florian Wirtz and Serge Gnabry.

Northern Ireland team news

Forward Paul Smyth has recently joined defenders Daniel Ballard, Brodie Spencer and Ciaron Brown on the sidelines.

Additionally, goalkeepers Pierce Charles and Conor Hazard are unavailable, which led to Bailey Peacock-Farrell being recalled to start last time out.

It is anticipated that there will be minimal, if any, changes to the winning lineup. However, manager Michael O’Neill might consider introducing George Saville or Ruairi McConville at the back against the Germans.
