Hofmann and Neuhaus hope for Germany debut

Six Foals are representing their national sides in friendlies tonight (7/10). Florian Neuhaus and Jonas Hofmann are looking to make their debuts for Germany.

The Germany national side face Turkey in Cologne this evening (20:45 CEST). Three Foals are in the Germany squad: Jonas Hofmann is there for the first time alongside Florian Neuhaus and Matthias Ginter, who has represented his country 30 times (photo: imago images/Schüler). There’s a good chance that they will both make their Germany debut today. “If I select a player, they can expect to play,” said Germany head coach Jogi Löw in the pre-match press conference. Should all three Foals be on the pitch for Germany at the same time, it would be historic. That hasn’t happened since 15th June 1985, when Germany lost 2-0 to Mexico. Frank Mill and Uwe Rahn were in the starting line-up and Michael Frontzeck was introduced in the 65th minute.

Yann Sommer and Nico Elvedi are in action for Switzerland tonight (20:45 CEST), hosting Croatia in St. Gallen. Stefan Lainer and Austria welcome Greece to Klagenfurt (20:30 CEST).
