"It is true that we are currently light years away from being able to talk about the World Cup. But it won't be played this summer. Today we're really not in good shape. But let's wait for the right players to return. We are currently not among those who can have great ambitions. There are others that are simply better. However, I think that if everyone is in shape, we still have qualities."
"We currently don't have a group of 50 players of international stature. But it also doesn't matter the squad with the games they have, what there is should be enough. If you had asked me how many players from Slovakia or Northern Ireland that I knew, it would be exactly zero. Makeshift squad or not, against this type of team it should be enough. The great luck is that we have a group from which you practically cannot be eliminated."
Germany lost 2-0 to Slovakia and beat Northern Ireland 3-1 in the recent international break. The team remain favourites to win Group A but may need a win over Slovakia on 17 November to secure World Cup qualification. The squad currently lacks form and depth, with key players such as Jamal Musiala, Marc-Andre ter Stegen and Kai Havertz missing recent matches. The current player pool does not include many internationally established names, but the available squad should be sufficient to progress from a qualifying group that also contains Luxembourg.
