Meanwhile, national team coach Julian Nagelsmann is banking on several of the country's biggest names. Among the players who will make the squad are stars such as Bayer Leverkusen's Florian Wirtz, Bayern Munich's Jamal Musiala and Joshua Kimmich, and Arsenal striker Kai Havertz.

Germany will face Curaçao, Ivory Coast and Ecuador in the World Cup group stage.
