5 German players who should be given a chance at the World Cup

Germany v Ukraine - Group C: UEFA Euro 2016
Can he repeat the success of 2014?

#3 Julian Weigl

Italy v Germany - International Friendly
Wiegl alongside other young guys are seen as the future for Die Mannschaft

Age: 22

Club: Borussia Dortmund

Position: Midfielder

The Borussia Dortmund star is already a well-known figure in European football. The 22-year-old central midfielder has already made 110 appearances for Dortmund and made his Germany debut in 2016, but only has 5 appearances for the national team because of injuries.

Unlike other defensive midfielders, Julian Weigl is more dependent on intelligent positioning and reading of the game, rather than pace and physicality. He is excellent at passing and is remarkably calm on the ball, because of which, he has already attracted attention from top Europen clubs.

Though Joachim Löw's side is gifted in the defensive midfield area, Weigl is one player who can always offer something extra. When fit, the youngster is one of the most reliable midfielders in German football at the moment.
