Lukas Podolski, Mario Gomez and Toni Kroos all return to the Germany starting XI for their Euro 2012 semi-final with Italy tonight.

Germany boss Joachim Low has made three changes to his starting XI for tonight's Euro 2012 semi-final with Italy in Warsaw.

Miroslav Klose and Marco Reus, who both scored in the 4-2 win over Greece on Friday, are replaced by Lukas Podolski and Mario Gomez.

Meanwhile, Toni Kroos returns to the side in place of Andre Schurrle.

Italy make one chance as Giorgio Chiellini is fit again and displaces Ignazio Abate in the heart of defence.

Germany: Neuer; Boateng, Hummels, Badstuber, Lahm; Khedira, Schweinstwiger, Kroos; Ozil, Podolski, Gomez

Italy: Buffon; Balzaretti, Barzagli, Bonucci, Chiellini; Marchisio, Pirlo, De Rossi; Montolivo; Balotelli, Cassano
