We know Marc-Andre ter Stegen of Barcelona is the second option, he is comparable with Manuel Neuer but Manuel Neuer’s experience takes him to the first opinion. And The third choice is Bernd Leno of Fulham battling with Eintracht Frankfurt’s Kevin Trapp.

Managers
- Hansi Flick to replace Joachim Low as Germany manager after Euro 2020.
Who are likely to be the star names in the squad?
Joshua Kimmich, Thomas Müller and Ilkay Gundogan are likely to be some of the first names on the team sheet. Timo Werner is the bookmakers’ favourite to be Germany’s top-scorer, but is only 50-1 to win the golden boot.
It is, in fact, far from obvious who starts up front for the four-times champions. Flick is believed to favour Werner, but with his relative lack of recent goals, there is a possibility that a player like Werder Bremen’s Niclas Fullkrug or Freiburg’s Nils Petersen could make the plane.
What are Germany’s fixtures?
Germany are in Group E alongside Costa Rica, Japan and Spain.
Nov 23: Germany vs Japan, Khalifa International Stadium, 1pm (GMT)
