Germany’s World Cup campaign faces an early defensive crisis before Monday’s round of 32 tie against Paraguay in Boston – central defender Nico Schlotterbeck has been ruled out for the remainder of the tournament with a severe ankle injury. Manager Julian Nagelsmann must reshape his backline without the Borussia Dortmund man as his side bids to reach the last 16.
The knockout fixture, scheduled for June 29, kicks off at 9:30pm UK time at Boston Stadium – known locally as Gillette Stadium – in Foxborough, Massachusetts. Fans in the UK can watch the match live and free-to-air on BBC One, with pre-match analysis beginning at 9pm. A live stream is available via BBC iPlayer and the BBC Sport website, accessible through web browsers, smart televisions and official mobile apps.
