Germany v Scotland team news

Germany don’t have any major injury concerns to worry about. Toni Kroos will anchor the midfield before he retires this summer, with Jamal Musiala, İlkay Gündoğan and Florian Wirtz providing service to Arsenal’s Kai Havertz up top.

Scotland will be without QPR striker Lyndon Dykes through injury, meaning Hearts’ Lawrence Shankland will lead the line. Clarke will be leaning heavily on Scotland’s Premier League stars in John McGinn, Scott McTominay and Andy Robertson, although the Liverpool defender withdrew from training on Monday as a precaution.

Germany v Scotland predicted line-ups

Germany: Neuer; Kimmich, Tah, Rüdiger, Mittelstädt; Kroos, Andrich; Musiala, Gündoğan, Wirtz; Havertz.

Scotland: Gunn; Hendry, Hanley, Tierney; Ralston, McTominay, Gilmour, Robertson; Christie, McGinn; Shankland.
