Top 5 debutants at the 2018 Football World Cup

#1 Marco Reus

Assuming Reus is fit, Germany will be stronger than they were last time around

It might seem like Marco Reus has been around forever, but this will be the first World Cup experience for the German.

After having missed out on the 2014 World Cup due to an ankle injury and the Euro 2016 due to a groin injury, this will be Reus' major tournament in a long time with the national team (the last one being Euro 2012).

Germany's coach, Joachim Löw, has not yet announced the final squad but Reus will definitely be on it and will play on the left wing. After an injury early in the season, Reus has recovered well at Borussia Dortmund and has ended the season with nine goals to his name.

The defending champions will once again come into the tournament with the intention of winning it, and Marco Reus will play a prime part in their pursuit of excellence. The only concern for Reus is an injury, and Germany will do everything possible to make sure that Reus gets on the plane to Russia in tip-top condition.
