Confirmed Lineups: Albania U21 vs Germany U21 

The starting XIs for both sides have been confirmed ahead of the friendly at Elbasan Arena.

Since the summer, Germany’s squad has undergone major changes, with only two players – Weiper and Gruda – retaining their places from the starting eleven that featured in June’s final in Bratislava. The reshuffle opens the door for several debutants, as Dennis Seimen, Finn Jeltsch, Joshua Quarshie and Said El Mala all make their first appearances at U21 level.

Alban Bushi makes six changes from the last starting eleven which lost to Turkey U21s in June.

Confirmed Albania U21 vs Germany U21 lineups: 

Albania U21 (4-3-3): Jukaj (GK) – Muça, Fikaj, Ramaj, Bashi – Shehu, Fatai, Alili – Brruti, Rashica, Osmani 

Germany U21 (4-3-3): Baum (GK) – Baum, Jeltsch, Quarshie, Ullrich – Tohumcu, Kemlein, El Mala – Gruda, Tresoldi, Weiper
