Germany take on Serbia on Friday in matchday five of the UEFA Nations League group stage, with the side currently placed third in the standings.
Germany have had an uneven start under new boss Jürgen Klopp, collecting five points from four games in Group 2. They began with a 1–1 draw away to the Netherlands, then suffered a disappointing 1–0 defeat at home to Greece.
Klopp recorded his first win when Germany beat Serbia 2–0 in Munich, before returning from Greece with a goalless draw. Those results have kept Germany’s hopes of reaching the knockout rounds intact.
Germany team news
Klopp has been forced into several late changes as Germany prepare for an important stretch of fixtures. Jamal Musiala and Serge Gnabry are unavailable because of injury, while midfielders Angelo Stiller and Assan Ouédraogo are also sidelined.
At the back, Waldemar Anton pulled out of the squad with a muscular issue, leading Klopp to bring in RB Leipzig defender Ridle Baku. Seventeen-year-old Borussia Mönchengladbach midfielder Wael Mohya, who had received his first senior call-up, was left out of the final matchday squad.
Said El Mala, however, is available after missing a training session earlier in the week as a workload-management measure.
Germany will need to be careful with bookings, as defenders Malick Thiaw, Yann Bisseck, and Philipp Treu are each one yellow card away from a suspension. Kai Havertz and Florian Wirtz are expected to front Germany’s attack.
Germany predicted lineup
Possible Germany starting XI: Ter Stegen; Treu, Tah, Schlotterbeck, Brown; Nmecha, Kimmich; El Mala, Wirtz, Karl; Havertz

The match will kick off at 7:45pm BST on Friday, 13th November.
