Christian Wuck’s appointment as Germany’s new manager will generate considerable excitement, as Germany strives for more aggressive play after its Nations League loss to Hungary.
Sarina Wiegman will take heart from their 2022 Euros final victory, but must begin working to improve both defense and goal scoring quickly.

Germany XI vs England XI
Germany and England are two of the most beloved national teams in world football, boasting rich footballing traditions between them. Both nations have produced some iconic players during their respective histories – choosing one player from each side would be difficult but Philipp Lahm is sure to top many fans’ lists when selecting an ideal XI from either country.
Lahm was one of Germany’s most celebrated players of all-time, leading Die Mannschaft to World Cup victory in 2014 by remaining on the field throughout its entire 120 minute final against Argentina and making history in doing so. Over his long and illustrious career with Bayern Munich he amassed 92 caps for Germany as part of its most celebrated generation since World War Two.
Lee Carsley made some noteworthy selection choices when taking over as interim England manager following Gareth Southgate’s departure and has set an extremely challenging standard for his squad ahead of this weekend’s Nations League fixture against Germany in Freiburg. Carsley secured two comfortable 2-0 victories over Ireland and Finland already and hopes that they can repeat that success against a more formidable foe like Germany in Freiburg.
Carsley will have to manage without the services of midfielders Korbinia Albert (suspension) and Emily Sams, while Jude Bellingham remains out with an ankle injury. Sam Coffey returns to the squad and may start as Albert’s replacement; Tierna Davidson may make her third appearance of this tournament as well.
Germany are unencumbered as they prepare to host England at Europa Park Stadion this Saturday. However, it will be fascinating to witness their new-look team take shape given Serge Gnabry is expected to replace Marco Reus who had to miss this match due to injury.
On the bench will be some notable players to keep an eye out for, such as Alexander Nubel and Maximilian Mittelstadt. Unfortunately neither player is expected to start, with Nagelsmann likely going with more reliable defensive duo Robert Andrich and Pascal Gross instead.
Germany XI vs Hungary XI
Germany made an immediate statement against Scotland on the opening night of Euro 2024 qualifying Group A action in Munich by defeating them 5-1 and Julian Nagelsmann’s side appeared formidable. Florian Wirtz, Jamal Musiala and Kai Havertz scored goals as Germany proved they can compete at major tournaments once more.
Manchester City starlet Serge Gnabry may miss out due to an ongoing fitness test; should he fail his medical, he could lose out on inclusion for the remainder of this qualifying campaign. Bayern Munich’s Robert Andrich could replace him, while Pascal Gross and Toni Kroos will continue in double pivot roles.
German hosts will make one more alteration to their starting lineup on Saturday; Freiburg defender Christian Wuck will replace Manuel Neuer who is injured, meaning Liverpool goalkeeper Simon Mignolet can remain as goalkeeper, with Hannover left back Bernd Leno holding onto their position at left back.
Joachim Low is unlikely to make any adjustments in midfield despite Ilkay Gundogan and Mario Gotze being out injured, with Florian Wirtz, Ilkay Gundogan, Mario Gotze and Jamal Musiala still all providing threat on the counter attack.
Hungary are currently struggling in Group G with five points from five matches and need a victory against Germany to keep any hopes of avoiding relegation alive. Unfortunately, coach Adam Szalai suffered from a medical emergency on Saturday but his club side have assured fans he is now recovering well.
Marco Rossi’s side are also suffering an injury setback, with goalkeeper Zoltan Henke and central defenders Botond Balogh and Bendeguz Bolla all looking likely to miss action, while Bournemouth midfielder Milos Kerkez could become inactive due to an illness or injury; Parma youngster Botond Batur may replace him.
Germany XI vs Sweden XI
Defending champions England are seeking to restore their once-impressive standing as one of the world’s premier teams, and playing Germany at Wembley could serve as an indicator of just how far Sarina Wiegman has progressed since taking charge in June. But Germany’s dismal 1-0 defeat by Hungary highlighted their lack of goal scoring, creativity and overall quality; something which Germany showed during their dismal 1-0 loss under Hansi Flick.
Low’s decision to employ a 3-5-2 formation is understandable, yet could have used his freedom of creativity more freely to freshen things up in his side. Sebastian Rudy could replace Sami Khedira as one half of a double pivot with Toni Kroos akin to Javi Martinez in Heynckes’ Bayern Munich side this past season; Leon Goretzka will play as holding midfielder more able than Khedira at carrying forward and giving Marco Reus and Timo Werner more freedom up top
Mats Hummels will likely miss Germany’s match against Sweden with a cervical vertebra injury, so Antonio Rudiger or Niklas Sule will take his place for this crucial UEFA Nations League fixture. While his absence may prove devastating to their defense, Nagelsmann still has plenty of options available and may use this and subsequent games as opportunities to experiment and see which combinations work before World Cup qualifying begins in 2022.
Gareth Southgate will look to use his usual attacking approach against Germany in what should be an exciting and fast-paced match-up. Trent Alexander-Arnold should continue in central defence alongside Eric Dier and Conor Coady with Phil Foden and Mason Mount on either flank providing width. Jude Bellingham should provide additional width whilst Jonas Hector may replace Marvin Plattenhardt on the left after returning from illness; Hector has performed admirably as a second half sub and it may be used against Germany – Southgate may decide to start him against Germany given Hector has excelled as such an impressive second half sub role so hector may start at full back instead.
Germany XI vs Ukraine XI
Germany will begin their Euro 2024 preparations on Monday evening when Julian Nagelsmann leads his men against Ukraine at Max-Morlock-Stadion. Though without Antonio Rudiger, Nico Schlotterbeck and Toni Kroos, who all featured in this weekend’s Champions League final – Leroy Sane, Ilkay Gundogan and Kai Havertz should still have enough firepower to overpower their opponent alongside Joshua Kimmich and Jamal Musiala.
German coach Joachim Low has one other worry regarding Benjamin Henrichs from Hannover FC who remains sidelined due to an ankle injury. Gladbach midfielder Jonas Hofmann could replace Henrichs while Maximilian Mittelstadt may get his third cap under Favre’s watchful eye. Aleksandar Pavlovic will likely continue in the defensive midfield role despite recent performances for Bundesliga giant Bayern Munich, with Robert Andrich and Pascal Gross set to provide support from Dortmund.
Serge Gnabry may make his return to Germany after nearly one year’s absence, likely joining Marcel Sabitzer from RB Leipzig, who has excelled throughout this campaign. Bayern Munich’s Thomas Muller or Bayer Leverkusen/Werder Bremen striker Mario Gotze could also feature.
England coach Sarina Wiegman will look to build on the strong foundation laid by her side during an otherwise trying Nations League campaign that saw them top their group with a convincing 3-0 win against Germany on Friday, following two indifferent starts to their campaign in which they fell to Norway and Switzerland by equal scores.
Hannah Hampton will lead England into goal, while Millie Bright, Leah Williamson, and Jordan Carter form an experienced centre-half trio in front of her. Alessia Russo and Beth Mead provide speed up front while debutantes Jess Park or Grace Clinton may make their mark as well.
