Germany Faces USA Without Neuer, Karl's Future Uncertain

Germany will face World Cup hosts United States in a pre‑tournament rehearsal. Goalkeeper Manuel Neuer will sit out the match.

The encounter is billed as a "Generalprobe" with high intensity. DFB‑selected players are expected to broaden their confidence on the field.

A comeback from an absent player is still pending. The fixture is also described as a "Test der Emotionen".

Suddenly, concerns have emerged about young talent Karl. Those concerns put Karl's World Cup participation in jeopardy.

The match will test whether the German side can perform without Neuer. Coaches will watch Karl's condition closely during the game.

The outcome will influence the final squad composition ahead of the tournament. If the doubts remain, Karl could be excluded from the World Cup roster.
