Welcome to The Athletic‘s live coverage of today’s UEFA Nations League match between England and Germany at Wembley Stadium!
Today’s match is the final opportunity for these squads to play together before November’s World Cup. England are in need of a positive result, having had a brutal time in the Nations League this year. They’ve played five games, won zero, and haven’t scored a single goal from open play (they scored one penalty). Gareth Southgate’s men are already assured of relegation from League A, the only team to be so before playing their final group fixture.
Germany are safe from relegation but cannot qualify for the Nations League finals. They’ll be looking to bounce back from a disappointing 1-0 loss at home to Hungary on Friday.
Team news:
England XI: Pope, James, Shaw, Stones, Dier, Maguire, Rice, Bellingham, Kane, Sterling, Foden
Subs: Trippier, Ramsdale, J. Henderson, Walker, Coady, Guehi, Saka, Mount, Toney, Chilwell, D. Henderson, Abraham
Germany IX: ter Stegen, Raum, Kehrer, Kimmich, Havertz, Musiala, Sule, Hofmann, Sane, Gundogan, Schlotterbeck
Subs: Ginter, Gosens, Baumann, Trapp, Arnold, Muller, Henrichs, Gnabry, Bella-Kotchap, Werner
