There are concerns over the fitness of Antonio Rudiger as the Real Madrid defender sat on the floor in pain following the Switzerland draw. It was subsequently confirmed that he is suffering from a thigh problem, so it will be up to Julian Nagelsmann whether he will be risked or not. Crucially, he completed full training on Friday.
Jonathan Tah is suspended for Germany, so Nico Schlotterbeck will come into the backline.
Nagelsmann has named the same starting XI for every game so far, and it will likely be the same for this one with the exception of Tah.
Niclas Fullkrug is pushing for a start after scoring two goals off the bench.

Kasper Hjulmand has everyone else available, but alterations could be made in the final third as his team has looked bereft of ideas at times. Jonas Wind hasn’t offered too much, so if a change is made, Yussuf Poulsen might be handed a start.
Germany (4-2-3-1): Neuer; Kimmich, Rudiger, Schlotterbeck, Mittelstadt; Kroos, Andrich; Musiala, Gundogan, Wirtz; Havertz
Denmark (3-5-2): Schmeichel; Andersen, Vestergaard, Christensen; Bah, Norgaard, Eriksen, Hojbjerg, Kristiansen; Højlund, Poulsen
