Forme Arsenal captain Per Mertesacker has said that German boss Hansi Flick should recall West Ham United defender Thilo Kehrer to the starting side to face Spain on Sunday night.
Kehrer, who had started 13 of Germany's last 16 games prior to their shock Group E defeat to Japan on Wednesday, was surprisngly left on the bench for the defeat, with Borussia Dortmind centre-back Niklas Sule playing as a right-back ahead of West Ham's Kehrer.
However, Mertesacker, who won the FA Cup three times with Arsenal and played 221 times for them between 2011 and 2018, has said that rather than making a massive overhaul in the team, he would just take out Sule's Dortmund teammate Nico Schlotterbeck, and replace him with Kehrer.
