Germany head coach Alfred Gislason has made a decision: The first substitute will be Jannik Kohlbacher, who is out from 14 for the first round match in Tokyo against Spain (July 24). The other substitutes in the 17-man squad are goalkeeper Silvio Heinevetter and right-winger Tobias Reichmann.
Only changes due to injury can be made here. In addition, unlike Kohlbacher, Heinevetter and Reichmann are not allowed to stay in the Olympic Village.
