The team line-up for the round of 16 against England is out: national coach Joachim Löw removes Gnabry and Gündogan. Werner and Goretzka are celebrating their starting eleven debut at the EM.
With Leon Goretzka and Timo Werner in the starting line-up, the German national soccer team will contest the European Championship round of 16 against England on Tuesday evening (/ ARD and Magenta TV). Bayern professional Goretzka replaces Ilkay Gündogan in his first start at this tournament, who is sitting on the bench after his bruised skull at the classic at Wembley Stadium. Chelsea striker Werner moves into the attack line for Serge Gnabry.
After his capsule injury in his knee, Thomas Müller can work again from the start. Leroy Sané has to go back to the bench for this. Antonio Rüdiger and Robin Gosens on the left defensive side have cured their colds in time.
National coach Joachim Löw holds on to his basic formation in the 3-4-3 system in the prestige duel against the Three Lions. Before captain Manuel Neuer, Matthias Ginter and Mats Hummels complete the defensive chain alongside Rüdiger.
Sancho again not in the English starting XI
Before that, Goretzka, Joshua Kimmich, Goretzka and Gosens play. It remains to be seen whether Kimmich or Goretzka will take the central position. The three-way attack is formed by Kai Havertz, Müller and Werner.
The preparation: Neuer – Rüdiger, Hummels, Ginter – Kimmich, Gosens, Kroos, Goretzka – Havertz, Müller, Werner
For the English, who switch to a three-man defensive, Dortmund’s Jadon Sancho is again missing in the offensive. His club colleague Jude Bellingham is also sitting on the bench on his 18th birthday. Next to the still goalless captain Harry Kane play again Bukayo Saka and Raheem Sterling, who scored the only two tournament goals of the English so far.
