- Official lineups list Alexander Nübel in goal for Germany, with Kai Havertz and Nick Woltemade in attack, as Jamal Musiala, Felix Nmecha, and Aleksandar Pavlović miss out and Jonas Urbig remains out with a knee issue.
- Nagelsmann confirmed Nübel’s start as a reward for strong form at VfB Stuttgart, a choice that doubles as an audition during Germany’s World Cup tune‑ups.
- Training reports pointed to Deniz Undav featuring off the bench, reflecting Nagelsmann’s recent approach of balancing in‑form scorers with confidence-building minutes for others.
- Germany enters on a six‑match win streak after Friday’s 4-3 win over Switzerland, while Ghana looks to respond to a 5-1 loss to Austria, and betting markets make the hosts heavy favorites.
