Team News: Shkodran Mustafi replaces Benjamin Henrichs in Germany XI

Mustafi replaces Henrichs in Germany XI

Shkodran Mustafi has replaced Benjamin Henrichs in the Germany XI for Sunday night's Confederations Cup final against Chile, who are unchanged for the showpiece event in St Petersburg.

Mustafi's introduction to the team means that Joshua Kimmich has moved from centre-back to a wing-back position, but Leon Goretzka and Sebastian Rudy both keep their places, meaning that Emre Can is only on the bench.

Further forward, Julian Draxler will support Lars Stindl and Timo Werner as World Cup holders Germany look to add to their success at the Under-21 European Championships in Poland this summer.

As for Chile, the South Americans are unchanged from their victory over Portugal in the semi-finals.

Arsenal's Alexis Sanchez will again lead the line with support from Bayern Munich's Arturo Vidal, while Gary Medel continues at the heart of the defence alongside Mauricio Isla.

Chile: Bravo; Isla, Medel, Jara, Beausejour; Aranguiz, Diaz, Hernandez; Vargas, Vidal, Sanchez Subs: Rodriguez, Silva, Fuenzalida, Mena, Puch, Valencia, Sagal, Roco, Herrera, Gutierrez, P.Diaz, Toselli

Germany: Ter Stegen; Mustafi, Ginter, Rudiger; Hector, Rudy, Goretzka, Kimmich; Draxler, Werner, Stindl Subs: Can, Brandt, Younes, Wagner, Sule, Henrichs, Leno, Demirbay, Plattenhardt, Trapp
