Summary
- Felix Nmecha and Aleksandar Pavlović will start in midfield.
- Youngster Lennart Karl makes his first start for Germany.
- Deniz Undav leads the attack with Kai Havertz absent.
Germany's coach Julian Nagelsmann provided a glimpse into the team's strategy for their World Cup warm-up friendly against Finland. He confirmed that Felix Nmecha and Aleksandar Pavlović will anchor the central midfield.
Adding to the anticipation, young talent Lennart Karl, an 18-year-old from Bayern, is set to make his first start for the national team after a strong showing in training. Deniz Undav will take on the role of striker, filling in for Kai Havertz.
Havertz, along with the experienced Manuel Neuer, will be absent from the friendly as they prepare for the Champions League final and continue recovery from injury, respectively. Oliver Baumann is slated to start in goal for Germany.
Nagelsmann emphasized his preference against extensive experimentation in this crucial pre-World Cup match. The primary aim is to build team rhythm ahead of their World Cup campaign.
