Nagelsmann reveals Havertz and Mittelstädt will start against France
Julian Nagelsmann has confirmed that Kai Havertz and Maximilian Mittelstädt will be among his starters when Germany face France on Saturday.
Kai Havertz will start up front when Germany face France in a friendly in Lyon on Saturday.
This was confirmed by Germany coach Julian Nagelsmann at a press conference on Friday.
"Kai has developed very well at Arsenal. He has a lot of recognition. I think a lot of him as a person and as a player," said Nagelsmann.
"He will start as a central striker, with a slightly different profile than the other players around him. We're happy to have a slightly different kind of striker behind him in [Niclas] Füllkrug."
Nagelsmann also confirmed that Stuttgart left-back Maximilian Mittelstädt will make his international debut in the starting eleven.
"Of course I trust him to play, otherwise I wouldn't have called him up. He will start tomorrow. He's a very smart man who has come a long way in Stuttgart. He will start because he has trained well and consistently."
