Mustafi back for Germany in Confederations Cup final
The Copa America winners are captained by Claudio Bravo
SAINT PETERSBURG (AFP) - Arsenal defender Shkodran Mustafi returns to Germany s starting line-up for Sunday s Confederations Cup final as the world champions make just one change from the semi-finals.
Mustafi slots in to Germany s three-man defence with Joshua Kimmich pushed up into the right side of midfield and Benjamin Henrichs, 20, dropping to the bench despite impressing in Germany s 4-1 semi-final win over Mexico on Thursday.
Chile coach Juan Antonio Pizzi has stuck with the same starting line-up which beat Portugal 3-0 in a penalty shoot-out after their semi-final finished goalless following extra time on Wednesday.
The Copa America winners are captained by Claudio Bravo, Chile s hero in the Kazan semi-final when the Manchester City shot-stopper saved all three of Portugal s penalty attempts.
A German looks set to finish as the tournament s top-scorer with both Leon Goretzka and Timo Werner having so far netted three goals each in Russia.
