WHAT HAPPENED? Havertz has been dropped by Germany and replaced by Leon Goretzka for Germany’s crunch game against Spain at the World Cup. A poor display against Japan was likely the deciding factor for Hansi Flick, who is looking to pick his side up following the surprise defeat.

THE BIGGER PICTURE: A victory would put Germany in a much better position going into the final matchday against Costa Rica, after they beat Japan earlier today. A loss still wouldn’t see them out of the competition, but it would leave them needing a win against Costa Rica on the final matchday and Spain to beat Japan.
