The German national team coach has insisted that his side has some great players who can replace the suspended, Jerome Boateng.

Bayern Munich defender Jerome Boateng will not be available for http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Denmark-c2884 after the player collected his second successive yellow card against Netherlands on Wednesday. The right-back has been suspended for
one game and it will be interesting to see which player replaces him.
Joachim Low insisted that Germany have many options to consider following the suspension of Jerome Boateng. The manager claimed that Philipp Lahm can return to his natural position on the right side of defence and Borussia Dortmund
left-back Marcel Schmelzer can make his way into the starting line-up.
The former http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/VfB-Stuttgart-c40879 manager added that another possibility could be to give Bayer Leverkusen man Lars Bender a chance to play as a full-back. He stated that the youngster has been performing well in training and that there
is a possibility that he may consider him.
Low added that Die Mannschaft can also opt to go with a three-man defence considering Denmark have a very defensive approach towards the game.
“http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Lars-Bender-c21663 could play down the right. A three-man back-line and rejigged attacking strategy would be another possibility, given Denmark's
very defensive style,” he was quoted as saying in an interview.
On the other hand, skipper Lahm claimed that Germany has a great chance to qualify for the quarter-final of the competition. He insisted that a win over Denmark is vital as that would mean they end the Group B on top.
“We're in an excellent position. We can finish the http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Job-c18684 by taking a point and that's not an opportunity we have any intention of letting slip,” he concluded.
Die Nationalelf have started their Euro 2012 campaign tremendously and have won both the fixtures in the group stage until now. They downed http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Netherlands-c753 with a 1-0 and 2-1 margin respectively and are on course to make
their place in the last eight if they draw against the Danes.
