Having already secured qualification for this coming summer's UEFA U21 European Championship during the October international break, Antonio di Salvo's Germany U21s will seek to keep themselves sharp over the course of two friendlies to be played during the current November league break. Di Salvo's latest roster features four changes from the October incarnation.

The most significant news concerns the fact that Borussia Dortmund's Youssoufa Moukoko will be returning for national team duty after declining to partake in the September and October breaks. The 19-year-old phenom - loaned out to OGC Nice by his parent club at the beginning of the season - previously preferred to concentrate on establishing himself at his new station in France.

After impressing in some recent deployments for Eintracht Frankfurt, defender Nnamdi Collins shall receive a chance to play under di Salvo for the first time. The 20-year-old shall take the place of Gladbach's Luca Netz, whose recent poor form has seen him lose his starting position for club. Köln's Tim Lemperle makes way for Moukoko as di Salvo carries an extra striker.

Two top tier Bundesliga clubs swap out players. Union Berlin's Tom Rothe takes a break so that di Salvo can get a look at his teammate Alijoscha Kemlein. Hoffenheim's Umut Tohumcu also makes way for his club colleague Tom Bischof; one of German football's hotter commodities at the moment. Kemlein and Bischof - like Collins - are U21 debutants.
