Germany shuffles starting lineup for World Cup match vs. Paraguay

Germany shuffles starting lineup for World Cup match vs. Paraguay

  • Germany shuffles starting lineup for World Cup match vs. Paraguay
Bill Koch, Providence JournalMon, Jun 29, 2026·1 min read

Deniz Undav goes from super sub to starting striker for Germany this afternoon against Paraguay.

Undav will partner Kai Havertz up front in this Round of 32 meeting at Boston Stadium after shining off the bench to date. Undav provided a goal and two assists in a Group E win over Curacao and found the net twice in a 2-1 triumph over Ivory Coast.

Undav’s inclusion left no place for Jamal Musiala, who opens on the bench. Florian Wirtz and Leroy Sane also feature among the attacking options for Julian Nagelsmann, who is looking to lead Germany to a place in the Round of 16. France or Sweden would await for a place in the quarterfinals.

Paraguay feature attacking midfielder Julio Enciso in its starting lineup – the former Brighton & Hove Albion man now plays for Strasbourg in France and is a bright young talent. Miguel Almiron plays in midfield after a red card earlier in the tournament and Gustavo Gomez captains the side in defense.
