The most high profile inclusions in his squad are young Borussia Dortmund stars, Mario Goetze, Sven Bender, Mats Hummels and Marcel Schmelzer. The quartet have amassed just seven caps between them, but with BvB flying high in the Bundesliga, they have all been touted as future stars for die Mannschaft.
Mainz’ Andre Schuerrle also finds himself in the squad, with the 20-year-old being touted as one of Germany’s brightest young talents, having played a cameo role in November against Sweden, and will be looking to impress if he is given the chance to take to the pitch in either of these two matches.
Real Madrid duo Mesut Oezil and Sami Khedira have both maintained their place in the squad, after great performances in last year’s World Cup and strong displays for the Spanish Giants, whilst iconic duo Miroslav Klose and Lukas Podolski also make the cut.
Full Squad:
Goalkeepers: Manuel Neuer, Rene Adler, Tim Wiese
Defenders: Dennis Aogo, Holger Badstuber, Jerome Boateng, Arne Friedrich, Mats Hummels, Philipp Lahm, Per Mertesacker, Marcel Schmelzer
Midfielders: Sven Bender, Mario Goetze, Sami Khedira, Toni Kroos, Thomas Mueller, Lukas Podolski, Mesut Oezil, Andre Schuerrle, Bastian Schweinsteiger, Christian Trasch
Forwards: Mario Gomez, Miroslav Klose
