GERMANY: FOOTBALL/SOCCER - Former German National Team Coach Jurgen Klinsmann attends Germany training session at Wembley.

Former German National Team Coach Jurgen Klinsmann watches German training session at Wembley. Germany prepared for their upcoming friendly against England with a light training session at Wembley stadium on Tuesday (August 21). The squad was watched by former national team coach Jurgen Klinsmann. Germany will be without some of their regular starting 11 for Wednesday's (August 22) match. Germany's injury list includes team captain Michael Ballack of Chelsea and Bayern Munich striker Miroslav Klose who picked up a knee injury during his side's 4-0 victory over Werder Bremen on Sunday. Klose's place in the Germany squad has been taken by Stefan Kiessling who will partner Kevin Kuranyi of Schalke 04 in attack for the first time. England have only met a unified Germany nine times in international football, the last occasion being in 2001 when England won a World Cup qualifier 5-1 in Munich. They played West Germany on 16 occasions, the most famous meeting being the 1966 World Cup final and the rivalry makes any meeting, even a friendly, a eagerly-anticipated prospect. The Germans beat England 1-0 in the last match played at the old Wembley Stadium in October 2000 before it was demolished. After Brazil were England's first opponents at the new stadium in June, the Germans are the first Europeans to face England there. Germany have beaten England four times at Wembley, more than any other foreign country.
