Germany to rest Lahm, Neuer, Ozil against England

Germany coach Joachim Low has revealed that he will rest three of his star players when he takes his side to Wembley to face England on Tuesday.

Captain Philipp Lahm, goalkeeper Manuel Neuer and playmaker Mesut Ozil will not start the international friendly in London.

Low told reporters: "The game against England is for us the last chance before the World Cup to test different tactics and players.

"Philipp Lahm, Manuel Neuer and Mesut Ozil are key and for me it's more important now to see other players in those key positions just to give a chance to prove themselves against a great team like England."

Germany will also be without midfielder Sami Khedira, who requires surgery on a knee injury.
