With an encounter with giants Brazil still to come, the likes of Ruben Loftus-Cheek, Tammy Abraham and Joe Gomez could all make their senior debuts at Wembley on Friday.
Meanwhile, having been in sparkling form over recent weeks, striker Harry Kane will be looking to add to his impressive scoring record at this level. The striker is one of five Tottenham Hotspur players in the squad.
Germany Team News & Form
German boss Joachim Löw led his side to ten wins from ten in qualifying, scoring a massive 43 goals in the process, while conceding just four.
