Joachim Loew
Mesut Ozil will start Germany's World Cup Group F opener against Mexico on Sunday, after coach Loew opted for the experienced midfielder instead of speedy Reus.
Loew’s chosen squad came with a number of surprises, missing two of the most important players in Germany.
Germany coach Joachim Loew has said he will experiment with his team when they take on England in a friendly on Friday, as the world champions prepare for their title defence next year.
