Latest Luxembourg vs Germany team information
Alongside long-term absentees Kai Havertz and Jamal Musiala, Germany are also without Nadiem Amiri, Niclas Fullkrug and experienced centre-back Antonio Rudiger for this month's fixtures.
Captain Joshua Kimmich is expected to continue at right-back, while Waldemar Anton could replace Nico Schlotterbeck – who is suffering from a minor injury – in central defence.
With Musiala still injured, Liverpool's Florian Wirtz is likely to continue to take on the creative role behind striker Nick Woltemade – who scored the winner against Northern Ireland.
Serge Gnabry and Karim Adeyemi are the two leading candidates for the upfront spot, but the recently recalled Leroy Sane also has a chance. Young talents Said El Mala and Assan Ouedraogo are hoping to make their senior debuts from the bench.
On the Luxembourg side, the most notable absentee is NAC Breda defender Enes Mahmutovic due to an abdominal injury. Mica Pinto, Yvandro Borges and Vincent Thill are also unable to play.
The good news for the home team is that Carlson will return after serving a one-match suspension for his red card against Germany and could start on the left of the back four.
Augsburg's Aiman Dardari – Luxembourg's only goal scorer in qualifying – could lead the attack, supported by two Germany-based players: Mathias Olesen of Greuther Furth and Danel Sinani of St Pauli.
Latest expected lineup Luxembourg vs Germany
Luxembourg:
Morris; Jans, M. Martins, Korac, Carlson; Olesen; Sinani, C. Martins, Barreiro, Moreira; Dardari
Virtue:
Baumann; Kimmich, Tah, Anton, Raum; Pavlovic, Goretzka; Gnabry, Wirtz, Adeyemi; Woltemade
Latest football commentary on Luxembourg vs Germany
After starting with a rare defeat in qualifying, Germany quickly regained order in Group A with three consecutive wins to take the lead – most recently beating Northern Ireland in Belfast.
Julian Nagelsmann’s side are ahead of Slovakia on goal difference and will secure top two if they win on Friday and Northern Ireland fail to beat Slovakia – or if they draw and Northern Ireland lose.
However, if Germany drops points in any match this month, they risk falling into the playoff group, because only the group winner will qualify directly for the expanded World Cup finals.
Before heading into Monday's crucial clash with Slovakia, Germany have a job to do against Luxembourg – one of Europe's weakest teams – in Luxembourg City.
Nagelsmann has just 14 wins in 26 games in charge, and he will surely be hoping for another win against a team Germany beat 4-0 in the first leg last month.
With their opponents reduced to 10 men with more than an hour to play, captain Joshua Kimmich scored twice, and Germany are now aiming to make it four wins in a row since their defeat to Slovakia.
Luxembourg have now lost all four of their competitive games against Germany by a combined 20 goals, and they only managed to limit their deficit when Dirk Carlson was sent off in the first leg in October.
Three days later, Luxembourg lost 0-2 to Slovakia. They are still without a point in Group A.
Certain to be bottom of the group, Jeff Strasser's side were playing for nothing but honour at the end of another unsuccessful qualifying campaign.
Luxembourg have waited 11 official matches for a win, and they have just dropped to 97th in the world according to the FIFA rankings.
With two games remaining – after the Germany game, they travel to Belfast – the most realistic target is to try to score a second goal in this qualifying campaign.
