Germany manager Joachim Low has confirmed that Bayern Munich defender Joshua Kimmich will play as a defensive midfielder for the national team moving forward.
The decision comes after Low experimented with his team and played Kimmich in the role last autumn, even though he plays right-back for the Bavarians in the Bundesliga.
After their shocking exit in the 2018 World Cup finishing bottom of their group, Low was perhaps unexpectedly retained as manager of the side. However, the poor performance has resulted in changes being made to the German set up - changes which were confirmed in recent weeks by the national team manager.
