Germany
Julian Nagelsmann has a few injury concerns hampering his preparations ahead of his side’s latest fixture. Germany’s head coach has made a few alterations to the group he picked in the October international break.
Janis Blaswich, Waldemar Anton, David Raum, Aleksandar Pavlovic, Kevin Schade, Jamie Leweling, and Jonathan Burkardt missed the cut due to different reasons. Meanwhile, Angelo Stiller (muscular) and Deniz Undav (hamstring) have pulled out from the squad after picking up injuries.
Alexander Nubel, Oliver Baumann, and Stefan Ortega are vying for the vacant goalkeeper’s berth in Marc-Andre ter Stegen’s absence. Nubel should get the nod, with Germany lining up in a 4-2-3-1 formation in front of him vs Bosnia and Herzegovina. The backline will feature Joshua Kimmich, Antonio Rudiger, Nico Schlotterbeck, and Maximilian Mittelstadt.
As for the midfield unit, Pascal Gross and Robert Andrich should pair up in the double pivot. Florian Wirtz will likely reprise the no. 10 role, with Jamal Musiala, Leroy Sane, and Tim Kleindienst completing the numbers in the final third.

Sead Kolasinac and Stjepan Radeljic have pulled out from the away side’s squad. In addition, Dario Saric and Enver Kulasin missed the cut after earning call-ups to the national team in the October international break.
Nikola Vasilj will take his spot between the sticks, with Bosnia and Herzegovina lining up in a 3-4-1-2 formation in front of him. The central defensive unit will likely feature Nihad Mujakic, Adrian Leon Barisic, and Ermin Bicakcic.
