One of the great rivalries in international soccer will add another chapter Saturday, as France hosts Germany at Groupama Stadium for an international friendly.
Antoine Griezmann’s stunning run of appearing in 84 straight matches for les Bleus will come to an end in the Lyon suburbs, as the Atlético Madrid attacker withdrew from the team due to an ankle injury. That has opened a door for Ousmane Dembélé, who seems favored to start up front alongside Kylian Mbappé and Olivier Giroud.

Germany will have to make do without goalkeeper Manuel Neuer, who left camp after suffering an adductor injury in training.
Julian Nagelsmann has also sprung something of a surprise, dropping Leon Goretzka and Mats Hummels while calling up four uncapped field players (Waldemar Anton, Maximilian Mittelstädt, Deniz Undav, and Maximilian Beier).
