Germany coach Joachim Low admits he has a very tough decision to make after witnessing his side beat Hungary 3-0 in Budapest on Saturday night.
Low must cut two players from his squad before submitting his 23-man list to FIFA on Tuesday but his players' performance makes it a difficult task.
"The coaching team will now sit down together on Sunday and Monday and we will announce our squad on Tuesday. Of course it is going to hurt the two players that it affects, but unfortunately we can only take 23 with us," said Low.
