Germany boss Hansi Flick will be without Nico Schlotterbeck and Kai Havertz for Tuesday's international friendly against Belgium in Cologne.

Centre-back Schlotterbeck was struggling with a thigh problem before being replaced in the dying embers of Saturday's win over Peru, while Havertz has been sent home ill.

Die Mannschaft otherwise have no fitness concerns to factor in for Tuesday's clash at the RheinEnergieStadion, and Schlotterbeck's exit means that Thilo Kehrer will be partnering up with Matthias Ginter, who is poised to win his 50th cap for Die Mannschaft.

Despite the friendly nature of Tuesday's contest, Marc-Andre ter Stegen should continue in goal given the calibre of opposition, as Marius Wolf and David Raum hold the fort out wide.

Emre Can was handed a rare start for his national team last time out, but Leon Goretzka should now come back in to form a recognisable engine room with Bayern teammate Joshua Kimmich.

Flick trialled a 4-2-2-2 setup for the recent win over Peru, where Florian Wirtz and Havertz both started in advanced roles, but the fresh legs of Serge Gnabry and Mario Gotze may now be preferred, especially with Havertz now unavailable.

Niclas Fullkrug's first-half brace sealed a 2-0 success for Germany over their South American counterparts - taking his total to five goals in five appearances for his nation - and the Werder Bremen attacker should continue up top with Timo Werner again.

Germany possible starting lineup: Ter Stegen; Wolf, Ginter, Kehrer, Raum; Kimmich, Goretzka; Gnabry, Gotze; Werner, Fullkrug
