How is Hansi Flick setting up the German national team today?
The first information is now leaking out from Qatar.
Apparently either Ilkay Gündogan or Leon Goretzka should play alongside Joshua Kimmich.
It is unlikely that all three central midfielders will appear.
In addition, Niclas Füllkrug, Leroy Sané and Lukas Klostermann have good chances of starting eleven.
Why?
Füllkrug brings the necessary presence in the center of the attack, Sané was one of the game changers after coming on against Spain and Klostermann's high speed makes him a perfect defender for Costa Rica's counter-attacks.
This is how Flick could line up:
Neuer - Klostermann, Süle, Rüdiger, Raum - Goretzka, Kimmich - Musiala, Müller, Sané - filling jug.

Germany vs Costa Rica live today: way to the World Cup round of 16
How does Germany make it to the World Cup round of 16?
We have an overview of the starting position here:
In a win against Costa Rica if Spain wins against Japan
In a win by at least two goals if Spain and Japan are drawn
In a win by one goal difference, if Spain and Japan draw and Japan have then scored fewer goals than Germany overall
In a win, when Spain lose to Japan and Germany catch up on goal difference, which is currently eight goals worse than Spain.
So every own victory with a difference of at least eight goals is enough.
If Germany and Spain have the same number of points, goal difference and number of goals scored, first the fair play rating and then the lot decides because of the 1:1 in a direct duel.
Germany vs Costa Rica live today: Riddles about the Flick decision
Before things get serious on Thursday evening at 8 p.m. German time in the Al-Bayt Stadium, football fans are of course puzzled over the line-up of the DFB team.
Does Flick let the Spain rescuer Niclas Füllkrug go from the start?
The center forward from Werder Bremen came on as a substitute on Sunday and wrote his very personal World Cup fairy tale with his important goal to make it 1-1.
Before the game against Costa Rica, many experts, even DFB director Oliver Bierhoff, are in favor of the filling mug.
"Of course, Niclas showed that you can count on him, right from the start."
