Manuel Neuer is fully expected to start against Romania tonight, but is reportedly set to be given a break in mid-week.
Per the report, Löw wants to rest his captain against North Macedonia and let ter Stegen play in his place. Neuer could even travel back to Munich ahead of schedule.
Ter Stegen last featured for Germany in a 6-1 victory over Northern Ireland in November 2019.
