Germany could rest a number of key players for the upcoming friendly against Spain in November.
- Low: Neuer approach is future for football
This week, both Bayern Munich and Borussia Dortmund complained about the increasing workload for their national team players.
Both clubs have had stuttering starts to their campaigns, with injuries playing a part -- Bastian Schweinsteiger, Franck Ribery, Marco Reus and Mats Hummels have all been sidelined this season.
Germany coach Joachim Low has since dropped hints that he will rest some of his players for the Spain clash in Vigo on Nov. 18, which could see the Nationalmannschaft field a second-string side.
"It's a test match," Low said in kicker. "And thus I consider granting one or a few other players a break."
According to kicker, Low is considering resting his Bayern and Dortmund players -- with both teams featuring in three competitions until the winter break -- as well as Real Madrid's Toni Kroos and Arsenal midfielder Mesut Ozil.
Germany entertain minnows Gibraltar in Nurnberg on Nov. 14 in their last Euro 2016 qualifier of the year, while in October Low's side travel to Poland and host Republic of Ireland.
"Until now, the October games have always been our best matches," Low said. "I hope it stays like that and that one or a few other players will be in better physical shape than against Scotland [a 2-1 win in the Germany's opening Euro 2016 qualifier earlier this month]."
