David Raum

Analysis: Raum was introduced into the starting XI for the group stage finale, starting at left-back after Nathaniel Brown suffered from some discomfort. Raum would play the full 90 and see some decent work with his tackle won and two clearances, although two goals allowed were a major blemish. He would also add two chances created and three crosses in the attack. He will likely return to the bench once Brown is fit again, although Raum could earn another start if the round of 32 comes too soon.

Back on bench with Germany

Raum (undisclosed) has returned to full fitness and was named on the bench for Germany's 4-0 victory in Sunday's clash against Finland despite not featuring, confirming he is available for the World Cup, according to the DFB team.

Analysis: Raum had been given a rest for Leipzig's season finale against Freiburg to recover from an intense campaign, but his inclusion in the matchday squad for the Finland friendly is a clean bill of health heading into the tournament. The left-back ends the club season with three goals, seven assists, a career-high 96 chances created and 252 crosses and will be one of the first names on coach Julian Nagelsmann's teamsheet when Germany's World Cup campaign gets underway.
