Confirmed lineups: Germany vs. Turkey

Here are the confirmed lineups for Saturday's international friendly between Germany and Turkey in Berlin.
Germany play their third game under Julian Nagelsmann when they take on Turkey in a friendly tonight.

Julian Nagelsmann has made six changes to the team that drew 2-2 with Mexico in October.

According to both Bild and Kicker, Germany line up in a 4-2-2-2 with Kai Havertz surprisingly playing at left-back.

As expected, Kevin Trapp starts in goal in place of the injured Marc-Andre ter Stegen, while Joshua Kimmich partners captain Ilkay Gündogan in central midfield.
