Euro 2024 – Germany vs Hungary | Match Info, Preview & Lineup
An almost perfect evening for Germany against Scotland saw none of Nagelsmann’s players pick up any knocks, and both fans and neutrals were pleased to see Gundogan emerge unharmed from Porteous’s sickening challenge, having caught the Barcelona man on the ankle with the full force of his studs.
Indeed, Nagelsmann confirmed at his pre-game press conference that he has everyone fit and available for matchday two, although he has stressed that in-game alterations could once again be pivotal to his side’s hopes of an emphatic success.
As Robert Andrich and Jonathan Tah were both booked against Scotland, they run the risk of sitting out the final group game versus Switzerland if they pick up a yellow card on Wednesday, although it may be preferable for them to miss that match if Germany have already qualified.
Meanwhile, Hungary head coach Rossi was unable to call upon either Loic Nego or Callum Styles for the loss to Switzerland due to unspecified fitness concerns, although the latter is on track to be available for this one.
However, the same cannot be said of Nego, and Rossi has also been deprived of 22-year-old defender Botond Balogh, who hurt his ankle in practice and will not be part of the selection either.
Even with Nego absent, Rossi could still opt for a change on the right-hand side in the shape of Bendeguz Bolla – one of two players walking a suspension tightrope alongside Attila Szalai – or Endre Botka, after giving 34-year-old Attila Fiola the nod in the opener.
Now the youngest male captain in Euros history, Liverpool’s Dominik Szoboszlai cut a frustrated figure before providing the assist for Varga’s header on Saturday, and a 44th cap now awaits the 23-year-old.
