Bayern Munich pair Serge Gnabry and Niklas Süle were on target as Germany beat Russia in an international friendly in Leipzig. Löw’s young squad, including Bundesliga talents Joshua Kimmich, Kai Havertz and Timo Werner were electric in the first half of the game at the Red Bull Arena. Gnabry, in particular, was impressive playing as the No. 9 in the middle of a dangerous front-three alongside Werner and Leroy Sane. One absentee from that game who should be available on Monday in Reus, who missed out as a precaution after taking a bruise on his foot. For Germany, the game in Gelsenkirchen is a chance to end their first Nations League campaign on a high with victory.

Germany will have an extra day of rest with the Netherlands playing against France on Friday. Ronald Koeman’s side beat Die Mannschaft 3-0 in October in Amsterdam, and much of that squad of players will be involved again on Monday at the Veltins Arena. Hertha Berlin winger Javairo Dilrosun earned his first call-up for the Oranje for these games and is on the bench here as the only Bundesliga representation in the Dutch squad. Captain Virgil Van Dijk leads the defence, with Memphis Depay in the middle of a front three in attack.
