#3 Manuel Neuer (Germany)

Neuer has only played four matches the entire season and kept three clean sheets altogether Other German keepers, for instance, Bernd Leno and Marc-Andre ter Stegen are right at the doorstep awaiting their chances. The national team coach remained adamant of Neuer's capabilities. The Bayern Munich player is likely to be in the starting line-up should he be fit enough to play.

Fans may be calling for the Barcelona keeper to be named in the starting line-up after he led the country to the Confederations Cup trophy last year. However, given Neuer's experience, Low is pleased to name the 31-year-old as the first choice keeper. At the same time, Neuer had also won the Golden Gloves in 2014 when Germany was the World Cup Champions under Low.

It is no surprise that Low has plenty of trusts in Neuer and he will be one of the keepers that the world will keep a close eye on.
