Germany's 2022 World Cup quest over in Qatar is set to begin later today, as Joachim Low's side prepares to take on Japan in Doha.
The 4-time winners will have their work cut out against an organized Japan outfit, but will hope to emerge victorious at the Khalifa International Stadium. Leroy Sane is the biggest name to be missing out for Die Mannschaft, with former Chelsea man Antonio Rudiger expected to start in defence.
Arsenal's Takehiro Tomiyasu and Brighton's Kaoru Mitoma have been included in Hajime Moriyasu 26-man squad, and will hope for a positive tournament, after last emerging from the group stages back in 2018 in Russia.
