Midfielders Jonas Hofmann and Leon Goretzka are getting back to full fitness and could be in contention off the bench.
Matthias Ginter is doubtful which could see Emre Can play in central defence.
Joachim Löw could make some changes here with Leroy Sané and Timo Werner in line to start.

Verdict
Germany’s defence is a problem area and Portugal have the firepower to add insult to injury. I'm tipping Portugal to win the match and qualify for the knockout rounds after just two games. Cristiano Ronaldo can continue his goalscoring form and add to his incredible 106 international goals.
