    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).
