The France team will play in Germany next Tuesday in a prestigious friendly match. And the opponent will present a little novelty.

Time may seem long for Germany. Qualified for Euro 2024 as a team from the host country, the selection led by Hansi Flick is preparing with friendly matches.

The results are not very good, like the two defeats conceded in June, in Poland (1-0) and against Colombia at home (0-2). And next Tuesday against the Blues?

If German supporters can fear another poor performance against Kylian Mbappé and his family, winners Thursday evening over Ireland (2-0), they will see a little novelty. Ilkay Gündogan will now wear the armband.

The FC Barcelona player succeeds his midfield colleague, Joshua Kimmich, interim since the spring and the unavailability of Manuel Neuer.

Ilkay Gündogan already served as captain last season with Manchester City. With some success.
