France vs Germany: Team news
Karim Benzema's early exit in the 3-0 win in a friendly against Bulgaria last Sunday raised some eyes but the Real Madrid forward has returned to training since. The only possible injury concern in France's side is of Chelsea defender Kurt Zouma but he is not expected to start anyay. Raphael Varane and Presnel Kimpembe are the preferred central defenders for coach Didier Deschamps.
Germany boss Joachim Low Low tested a three-man backline consisting of Antonio Rudiger, Mats Hummels and Matthias Ginter in the friendlies against Latvia and Denmark. Jonas Hofmann and Leon Goretzka are expected to be ruled out for the opener on account of a knee injury and muscle problems respectively.
