Switzerland vs Germany: What has been said?

Germany boss Nagelsmann has told fans not to expect wholesale changes as he is focusing on finishing top.

“Top spot is important. We want to win all our matches,” he said.

“I do think it is important to have as many players from the starting 11 on the pitch so that we stay in the rhythm.

“Do not expect to have seven changes to the team. I can rule that out now.”
