Ecuador vs Germany Live Score, FIFA World Cup 2026: Group E Qualifying Race Goes to Final

Germany coach Julian Nagelsmann has hinted that Antonio Rudiger is in line for more minutes against Ecuador after impressing off the bench in the win over Ivory Coast. With Nico Schlotterbeck ruled out of the tournament through injury, Rudiger is expected to play a bigger role as Germany look to complete the group stage with a perfect result. Nagelsmann also hinted that there would be only minor changes to his starting XI, while supersub Deniz Undav said he was happy to continue to feature from the bench if needed.
