Thomas Muller and Mats Hummels are named in Germany's starting XI - the same one that beat Latvia 7-1 in their final pre-tournament friendly. The Bayern Munich pair were told in March 2019 that their international career was over but are now back in the fold.

Manchester City's Ilkay Gundogan partners Toni Kroos in centre midfield.

Germany: Neuer, Ginter, Hummels, Rudiger, Kimmich, Kroos, Gundogan, Gosens, Havertz, Muller, Gnabry.

Subs: Halstenberg, Volland, Werner, Leno, Sule, Klostermann, Neuhaus, Sane, Trapp, Can, Koch, Gunter.
