Six players sidelined for Netherlands friendly

Germany's national team coach Joachim Löw will have 18 players available for their final international of the year. Despite the tragic events in Paris, it has been decided to go ahead with the football classic against the Netherlands on Tuesday evening (20:45 CEST) in Hannover. Six players who had been in the squad against France, will not be available against Holland.

Manuel Neuer, Jérome Boateng, Jonas Hector, Lukas Podolski and Bastian Schweinsteiger have all made early departures from the national team. Neuer, Podolski and Schweinsteiger are rested by the coach, while Hector and Boateng are nursing minor injuries and therefore rested as well.

Leroy Sané will also not be involved on Tuesday, as the Schalke youngster has joined the U21 squad, who take on Austria in Fürth on Tuesday (18:00 CEST) in their bid to qualify for the European Championships.
