Joachim Low expects "extraordinary" England match

Germany coach Joachim Low has declared that facing England tomorrow night provides the perfect opportunity to look at a variety of options, while predicting an "extraordinary match" at Wembley Stadium.

Low has admitted that he plans to use the showpiece friendly as an experimental exercise, with the likes of Rene Adler and Sven Bender given chances to impress against the Three Lions.

He told reporters at his pre-match press conference: "It's certainly an extraordinary match: Wembley is a mythical place, so we're raring to go.

"What better test for these upcoming players than to go out in front of that partisan 80,000 crowd cheering their own team on. I need to experiment a bit and send a few players home who are already established.

"It is a deliberate acid test, not a "B team", and this is certainly no lack of respect to our hosts. In 2008 in Berlin, England played a team without Wayne Rooney, Frank Lampard and Steven Gerrard and beat us 2-1."

One key player who will definitely not feature for the visitors at Wembley tomorrow night is Sami Khedira, as the Real Madrid midfielder underwent knee surgery at the weekend.
