Group power continues to be a persistent challenge with Joshua Kimmich becoming a member of the massive record of injured personnel. Dealing with Luxembourg but once more this 12 months, now at their residence stadium, was slated to be a straightforward fixture for Die Mannschaft, even when they have been grossly understaffed.
