Liverpool midfielder Emre Can has been handed a start in the Germany defence for the international friendly with France.

Can features at right-back as Joachim Low opts for a back four for the visit of the Euro 2016 finalists, while Mesut Ozil is handed a start further forward.

Manchester City midfielder Ilkay Gundogan also plays, while Hertha Berlin defender Marvin Plattenhardt receives just his fifth cap for his national team.
