When Germany face Slovakia to kick their preparations for UEFA Euro 2016 into another gear on Sunday, the XI on the pitch will hardly resemble the one we'll see on June 12 in Lille, in France.
On that day, Joachim Low's men will start their Euro adventure against Ukraine. Until then, however, a lot of things need sorting out.
The 56-year-old called up a preliminary selection of 27 players for the first phase of preparations, including four players who have yet to make their debut for the current FIFA World Cup holders. Bayer Leverkusen goalkeeper Bernd Leno and attacker Julian Brandt, Bayern Munich all-rounder Joshua Kimmich and Borussia Dortmund midfielder Julian Weigl could all earn their first caps against Slovakia.
