Germany players vouch for Baumann to start in goals against Ecuador | OneFootball

Some of Germany's national team players would like to see Oliver Baumann start against Ecuador tomorrow, Sky Germany reports.

Should it happen Baumann would make his World Cup debut as a 'reward' and players feel it would be a show of appreciation for him. 

Amid an injury crisis, Baumann played all six games of Germany's World Cup qualifying campaign, keeping four clean sheets.

The pay-TV channel even suggests that the topic has been discussed in the German dressing room in recent hours. 

However, it remains to be seen whether coach Julian Nagelsmann and first choice goalkeeper Manuel Neuer will let it happen.

Neuer is typically known as a team player, but it's worth noting this will be the 40-year-old's last tournament playing international football.

Furthermore, Neuer could add to his record-breaking 21st-ever World Cup appearance which he claimed against Côte d'Ivoire.
