Despite being rock solid on their way to the top of the table, Germany still sent their main team to face Switzerland. Although they managed to stay at the top of the table in a close match, the cost was not to be underestimated. Both center backs, Rudiger and Zunafontez, were unfortunately injured during the match, and the team may face the urgent situation of changing center backs in the round of 16.
Before the match, Jonah Fintekhi was carrying a yellow card. In the 39th minute of the match, he received another yellow card for a dangerous act, his second yellow card of the season, and will face a one-match suspension. To make matters worse, his center partner Rudiger was also injured in the match. The leader said after the game, "Rudiger has an injury to his thigh, hopefully it's not too serious, it needs to be checked again, this kind of injury can be tricky."
It is expected that Jonathan Tesh will take the center of the defense in place of the injured Rudiger, while Nichol and Schulodabik will be the front runners. If Rudiger is unavailable, Stuttgart's Waldemar Anton may be the man to beat. Faced with the change in the center of the German team, fans can not help but ask questions: why not? Why not? Why not? Why not?
