Liverpool midfielder Emre Can is one of two Germany players in contention to play central midfield role in the Euro2016 semi-final against France.
Germany coach Joachim Low's original choice Sami Khedira has been ruled out of the clash with an injury and his replacement, Manchester United's Bastian Schweinsteiger, is also in doubt.
Low said: "You can use Emre Can in many positions. He'd be a player who would do well for our game.
"Julian Weigl is also a very good player, though, just a different type of player. We will wait for two or three more days and then we'll see how the decision plays out.
"Joshua Kimmich is not under consideration out of the six. I have other central possibilities."
