Germany's national football team is heading into its final test match before the World Cup with a full squad available. Coach Julian Nagelsmann confirmed that all 25 players participated in the team's final training session on Friday, with no new injuries reported.
Goalkeeper Manuel Neuer, who has returned to the national team fold for the World Cup, is continuing his recovery from injury. He trained separately from the main group, focusing on his individual comeback. Neuer had previously been ruled out of the match against Finland due to a calf injury, but the coach expressed confidence in his full recovery.
One must not worry about the record goalkeeper.
Kai Havertz of FC Arsenal will miss the game against Finland as he is set to compete in the Champions League final on Saturday evening in Budapest. The German team will then travel to the USA for a friendly against the hosts on June 6th, before heading to their World Cup base in North Carolina.
Team spirit is fundamental for a successful World Cup.
