Germany take on Ukraine aiming keep pace with group leaders Spain, whom they face in Seville on Tuesday. Spain currently hold a one-point lead and are also in action on Saturday night when they face Switzerland in Basel.

Ahead of their match against Ukraine, Germany players went through their paces in a training inside the Red Bull Arena. Among the players to take part included Chelsea striker Timo Werner, Manchester City midfielder Ilkay Gundogan, and a host of Bayern Munich and Borussia Dortmund stars.

One notable absentee was Werner's club teammate Kai Havertz, who is currently in isolation at home having tested positive for the coronavirus.
