Germany U21 head coach Antonio Di Salvo has named his squad for the upcoming friendlies against Belgium on November 13 and Croatia on November 17.

Already assured of a place at next summer’s European Championship, Germany will face two challenging tests.

“We want to use these two matches to see where we stand in terms of performance compared with such strong opponents,” Di Salvo said.

“This is the next step for our team on the road to next summer’s European Championship. That also means we want to continue improving our play at this high level so that the team can grow closer together.”
