How will Germany line up against France on Saturday? Thursday's training session offered a big clue as to what Julian Nagelsmann's plans are.
Germany continue their preparations for the European Championship when they take on France in a friendly in Lyon on Saturday evening.

Thursday's training session gave a good indication of how Germany coach Julian Nagelsmann plans to line up, with the 11 players likely to start against France arriving later than the rest of the squad.

This is reported by both Kicker and Bild, who claim that the A-team looks as follows, lining up in a 4-2-3-1:

Marc-André ter Stegen

Joshua Kimmich
Jonathan Tah
Antonio Rüdiger
Maximilian Mittelstädt

Toni Kroos
Robert Andrich

Florian Wirtz
Ilkay Gündogan
Jamal Musiala

Kai Havertz



Germany will be without Jan-Niklas Beste (groin), Jonas Hofmann (hip), Lukas Klostermann (thigh), Manuel Neuer (groin), Aleksandar Pavlović (tonsilitis) and Leroy Sané (suspended).
