Klose makes Germany team
German striker Miroslav Klose was included in Rudi Voller’s starting line-up, despite fears over a knee injury, for their crucial World Cup Group E clash in Shizuoka.
The Kaiserslautern hitman is the joint top-scorer in the tournament with four goals to his name and was chosen to partner giant front man Carsten Jancker.
Needing only a draw to progress to the last 16, Voller named the same team that were held 1-1 by the Republic of Ireland last week.
Cameroon, with four points from their opening two matches, made just one change to the side which accounted for Saudi Arabia.
Coach Winifred Schaeffer opted for Marseille’s Salomon Olembe in place of Numancia’s Daniel Ngom Kome.
Should Ireland fail to beat Saudi Arabia in their final match, both Germany and Cameroon would qualify regardless of the score.
