Germany's Brown Returns to Training Ahead of World Cup Round of 16 Match Against Paraguay
Germany and Paraguay face off in the World Cup round of 16 in Boston, with Germany favored but wary of Paraguay's challenge. Historically, the teams have met twice, including a 2002 World Cup round of 16 match, with Germany winning once and one draw, leaving Paraguay still seeking its first victory over the European powerhouse.
Germany's defender Brown has returned to training and is expected to be fit for the match after a strong performance in the opening game against Curaçao. Meanwhile, Paraguay's Almirón will return from suspension after receiving a red card for hiding his hand during a previous match.
Germany is likely to keep Sane in the starting lineup following his recent goal, with Antonio Rüdiger expected to continue alongside Jonathan Tah due to Nico Schlotterbeck's injury. The match is set to be a crucial test for both teams as they compete for a spot in the World Cup quarterfinals.
