Old enemies, England and Germany, go head-to-head on Wednesday 19th of November at 19:45 at the Olympic Stadium in Berlin.

England have a few noticeable absentees. Steven Gerrard (groin injury) and Frank Lampard (rib) and both are said to be "gutted" to miss the match in Berlin.

Scott Parker And Jimmy Bullard have been picked as replacements for the Liverpool and Chelsea Stars.

John Terry is expected to be available after the knock he picked up againts West Brom at the week end. He complete a full England training session on Monday.

Manchester United trio Wayne Rooney, Wes Brown and Rio Ferdinand, along with Chelsea team-mates Ashley and Joe Cole and Wigan striker Emile Heskey are all sidelined with injuries.

Germany on the other hand are set to hand starts to midfielders JErmaine Jone and Simon Rolfes because of the absense of Michael Ballack(Foot) and Torsten Frings who has been lefted out of the squad to make way for some youngsters.

Germany have four uncapped players in their squad, Goalkeeper Tim Wiese and Defenders Marvin Compper and Marcel Shaefer aswel as midfielder Tobias Weis

Germanys Coach Joachim Loew Said:

"I don't know how it will work yet, but I want to give a chance to some or all of them. They're not in the squad by accident."

The Squads look like this:

England squad: Carson, Robinson, James, Bridge, Davies, Johnson, Terry, Lescott, Mancienne, Richards, Upson, Barry, Carrick, Downing, Bullard, Parker, Wright-Phillips, A Young, Agbonlahor, Bent, Crouch, Defoe, Walcott.

Germany squad: Adler, Wiese, Compper, Friedrich, Hinkel, Mertesacker, Schaefer, Tasci, Westermann, Hitzlsperger, Jones, Marin, Rolfes, Schweinsteiger, Trochowski, Weis, Gomez, Helmes, Klose, Podolski.
