How Germany could line up against France

Sports Mole takes an in-depth look at how Germany could line up for Saturday's international friendly against France.

Germany boss Julian Nagelsmann has lost Bayern Munich goalkeeper Manuel Neuer to injury ahead of Saturday's international friendly with France at the Groupama Stadium in Lyon.

The 37-year-old - who is four months Nagelsmann's senior - sustained a torn adductor muscle during training on Wednesday morning and has returned to Munich to undergo treatment.

Neuer is one of several members of the old guard now absent for March's fixtures, as none of Mats Hummels, Niklas Sule, Leroy Sane, Serge Gnabry, Leon Goretzka or Timo Werner were called up in the wake of a disastrous 2023.

In contrast, six uncapped players have been summoned, including 33-year-old goalkeeper Oliver Baumann, but Marc-Andre ter Stegen will surely get the nod in goal with Neuer in the treatment room.

Nagelsmann has alternated between a three-man and four-man defence during his first few months in charge of the national team and may opt for the latter this time around, especially with Joshua Kimmich starting as a right-back for Bayern Munich in recent weeks.

Antonio Rudiger and Jonathan Tah are seemingly guaranteed to link arms in the heart of defence, while the uncapped Maximilian Mittelstadt will earn his baptism at left-back, as Nagelsmann ceases the Kai Havertz experiment in that position.

Real Madrid's Toni Kroos is back in the squad for the first time since Euro 2020 and is primed to join Ilkay Gundogan and Robert Andrich at the heart of the engine room, allowing the exciting pairing of Florian Wirtz and Jamal Musiala to potentially operate as two number 10s further up the field.

Thomas Muller has survived the cull of senior players, but the 34-year-old and Niclas Fullkrug will miss out on the number nine spot to Havertz, now starting to find his feet at Arsenal.

Germany possible starting lineup:
Ter Stegen; Kimmich, Tah, Rudiger, Mittelstadt; Kroos, Andrich, Gundogan; Musiala, Wirtz; Havertz
