German player, Sami Khedira, who has Tunisian origins, has been included in Germany's squad that will face England in Wembley, on August 22nd.

He earns his first ever call up in the Mannschaft due to the many absences in midfield as Captain Michael Ballack, German Footballer of the Year Mario Gomez, Torsten Frings and Tom Borowski are all injured. Coach Joachim Loew will also miss Lukas Podolski in the front line but he has no problems in that line as Kevin Kuranyi and Miroslav Klose are in a very good shape. Germany are top of the group with 19 points from 7 games with five yet to be played. Germany squad: Goalkeepers: Timo Hildebrand (Valencia/ESP), Jens Lehmann (Arsenal/ENG) Defenders: Arne Friedrich (Hertha Berlin), Clemens Fritz (Werder Bremen), Marcell Jansen, Philipp Lahm (Bayern Munich), Per Mertesacker (Werder Bremen), Christoph Metzelder (Real Madrid/ESP), Serdar Tasci (VfB Stuttgart) Midfielders: Robert Hilbert, Thomas Hitzlsperger, Sami Khedira (VfB Stuttgart), Bernd Schneider (Bayer Leverkusen), Bastian Schweinsteiger (Bayern Munich), Piotr Trochowski (SV Hamburg) Forwards: Patrick Helmes (Cologne), Stefan Kiessling, Miroslav Klose (Bayern Munich), Kevin Kuranyi (Schalke 04)
