Roy Hodgson has revealed his starting 11 for the Three Lions' clash against the world champions, which includes a number of stars behind Tottenham's Premier League title charge
Four Tottenham players will start England's international friendly against Germany on Saturday including Danny Rose, who will make his debut at Berlin's Olympiastadion.Spurs' English core have played a huge role in helping launch the club's chase for their first league title since 1951 and now a large number of them have been handed the chance to impress from the get go against the world champions.
Rose is joined in the starting lineup by Tottenham team-mates Eric Dier, Dele Alli and Harry Kane, while captain Gary Cahill will partner Chris Smalling in the heart of defence.
"If they carry on and play as well for England as they do for Spurs, that would be advantageous," said Hodgson in Friday's press conference, referring to the decision to field four Tottenham players.
"But I don't choose them as a block. If I was bothered about that I would play Kyle Walker at right-back not Nathaniel Clyne.
"I'll continue to choose on ability, talent and what they can bring to our team."
Danny Welbeck's recent good run of form for Arsenal has landed him a starting berth against Germany as Liverpool trio Nathaniel Clyne, Jordan Henderson and Adam Lallana all help complete the side.
Uncapped Leicester midfielder Danny Drinkwater could now be set to start in Tuesday's friendly against Netherlands as well as Daniel Sturridge, who hasn't played for England since September 2014.
England team to face Germany: Butland; Clyne, Smalling, Cahill (c), Rose; Henderson, Dier, Alli; Welbeck, Kane, Lallana.
