Low undecided on Germany captaincy

No decision has been made on who will deputise for Manuel Neuer as Germany's captain, according to coach

Joachim Low has not yet decided who will take over the Germany captaincy from injured goalkeeper Manuel Neuer.

Hazard to miss start of season

Neuer is not available for Tuesday's friendly against Denmark, Saturday's World Cup qualifier against San Marino or the upcoming Confederations Cup after breaking a metatarsal during Bayern Munich's Champions League quarter-final defeat to eventual winners Real Madrid in April.

Low has named an inexperienced squad to face Denmark, with defender Mats Hummels, midfielders Toni Kroos and Mesut Ozil and attacker Thomas Muller all missing, while Hoffenheim duo Kerem Demirbay and Sandro Wagner are among players who could make their debuts.
