World Cup: Germany have to win against S Korea

Defending champion Germany got new life with Saturday’s exhilarating win over Sweden, but its work is far from over and it goes into its group-stage finale against South Korea perhaps a bit shorthanded.

Defender Jerome Boateng will miss the game while serving a red-card suspension over his antics in the Sweden game while Sebastian Rudy, a defensive-minded midfielder, will miss the match after suffering a broken nose that required surgery.

Mats Hummels, Rudy’s Bayern Munich teammate, will play after missing the Sweden game with a neck injury, however.

South Korea has injury troubles of its own: Team captain Ki Sung-yueng — the team’s most-capped player — will miss the game with a calf injury, putting more pressure on Son Heung-min to power an attack that’s produced just one goal through two games.

Son scored that goal in stoppage time against Mexico, preventing a second consecutive shutout, and his eight shots against El Tri were more than South Korea had as a team in its opening loss to Sweden.

The lineups

Germany: Neuer; Hector, Hummels, Süle, Kimmich; Khedira, Kroos, Goretzka; Özil, Werner, Reus.

South Korea: Cho; Lee Yong, Yun, Hong, YG Kim; Jang, Jung, Koo; Lee Jae-sung, Moon, Son.

Of note: Lots of changes for Germany. Leon Goretzka, making his first appearance at the World Cup, replaces the struggling Thomas Mueller. Mats Hummels and Niklas Süle (also making his Russia debut) come on for Antonio Rüdiger and the suspended Jérôme Boateng on defense. Sami Khedira returns in place the injured Sebastian Rudy. Mesut Özil, meanwhile, is back in the starting 11 after not seeing the field against Sweden, replacing Julian Draxler.

South Korea has made four changes from the starting lineup it fielded against Mexico last weekend: Yun Young-sun, Hong Chul, Koo Ja-cheol and Jung Woo-young replace Min-Woo Kim, Ki Sung-yeung, Hwang Hee-chan and Ju Se-Jong.
