Former Real Madrid star Toni Kroos' retirement has left an open midfield position for Germany, creating a strategic challenge for coach Julian Nagelsmann.
With Kroos gone, Borussia Dortmund's Pascal Groß and Robert Andrich are in contention for the midfield role, highlighting a potential shift in Germany's tactics.
While Joshua Kimmich will continue at right-back, Groß's adventurous playing style may provide the dynamism needed in midfield alongside Andrich.
Young midfielders like Aleksandar Pavlović and Angelo Stiller are not quite ready to step up, leaving the door open for competition as Germany heads towards the World Cup.
