Ed end of season world champions from Germany will play two control matches. On June 10 in Cologne Bundestim″t will face the United States the APU, and three days later will travel to Portugal for the match with Gibraltar.
For both meetings, Germany coach Loew will deprive the Yogi from the participation of three of their stars-Manuel Neuer, Thomas Mueller and Toni Kroos.
The three played steadily this season and because of that, Loew decided to save them both matches and to give them more rest.
'In the past I have always been able to count on Thomas and Thomas, both have great merit for AFA and the national team. They earned this break. This decision was taken with regards to the upcoming season, which will end in the summer of 2016 European Championship in France.', said Loew.
About Neuer, the specialist commented: 'Manu is also an example on the participations. Everyone knows that he was among the players who always want to play. Our doctor Hans-Wilhelm Muller-Volfart informs us that we cannot train the Manu without pain and to play. The long season gives their marks. We need Manu in the important qualifications in the fall, then he must be in top shape.'
And while the trio remains at home, Loew called Patrick Herman, who made an excellent season for the Borussia Moenchengladbach:
All called players:
Goalkeepers: Vajdenfeler, Ciyler
Defenders: Boateng, Durm, Hector, Humels, Mustaffi, Rudy, Rudiger
