Rudy and Uth called-up to Germany squad

The game will be played on Monday 19th November in the Veltins-Arena and Germany will be trying to avoid relegation from League A, provided the Netherlands don’t beat France. If the Netherlands do beat the world champions, Germany will be relegated before their match.

Regardless of the result, the national team coach expects his team to perform well against Russia in Leipzig four days prior to the game. “It’s a good opportunity for us to play in front of our own fans twice,” said Joachim Löw. “We want to show the fans once again the joy of playing football, like we have played in recent years. Of course, we will have to work very hard against the Netherlands though.” In the first leg in October, Mark Uth made his debut for the Germany national team as they lost 3-0 in Amsterdam.
