Germany keep line-up secret

Germany have kept themselves very much to themselves since setting up camp on the Algarve, and held their most recent training sessions in secret.

Germany have kept themselves very much to themselves since setting up camp on the Algarve, and held their most recent training sessions in secret.

A lack of any serious injury problems has made the selection for their opening Euro 2004 game with Holland in Porto very much a guessing game.

Defender Jens Nowotny claims that the players already know the starting XI, but assistant coach Michael Skibbe denied that today, insisting that “only eight players are definite starters. For the rest you will have to wait and see”.

But there appear to be certain starts for new young stars Philipp Lahm in defence and Kevin Kuranyi up front.

Team (from): Kahn, Hinkel, Worms, Nowotny, Lahm, Hamann, Frings, Ballack, Schneider, Klose, Kuranyi, Lehmann, Ziege, Friedich, Bobic, Podolski, Jeremies, Kehl, Baumann.
