The German National Team is battling injuries but could get healthy at the right time. At full health, this list could be somewhat different. Regardless, here are the top five players for the German National Team.

Bastian Schweinsteiger took the German soccer world by storm a few years ago and is now the reliable veteran. He has come back from injury to score goals and drive the Bayern Munich attack. He can play different roles in the midfield, and his late runs into the box makes him a scoring threat.

If you watched Dortmund's strong attempt at a comeback in the Champions League against Real Madrid, you saw what Marco Reus can do. He is smooth and fast. His position has often been on the left wing, but he has been successful playing more centrally under a striker. His hair alone makes him a player to watch.

3. Philip Lahm

Philip Lahm is the captain of the German team for a reason. He has played predominantly in the midfield for Bayern Munich this year after becoming arguably the best right-back in the game. He will likely assume a midfield role in the World Cup depending on injuries to the back line. He wanted to play in the midfield, and the transition has been virtually flawless. Regardless of where he plays, he will be consistent.

2. Mario Goetze

Mario Goetze may be a false nine or a central playmaker, or he may be out on the right. Regardless, he will need to see time. He has adapted to various roles and Joachim Loew has experimented with the same system Bayern Munich have used with Goetze in that false nine role. He could also be a super sub who has worked multiple times this season for the German champions.

Manuel Neuer is often in the conversation for best goalkeeper in the world. He has shined on the big stages and comes up with saves that seem improbable time and again. If the back line is still riddled with injuries in June, then Neuer may face many more shots. Even if the team was fully healthy, Neuer would make this list.
