Draxler to captain Germany at Confed Cup

Germany at the Confederations Cup in Russia. Löw was speaking after the 1-1 draw with Denmark in Copenhagen.

“I plan to have him as captain if he is playing, but it’s likely he will have a rest in there somewhere too.,” explained Löw, who selected PSG attacker Draxler as captain for the game in the Brondby stadium. “He knows how to drive the team on. He took responsibility last night and was a good influence on the pitch.”

Löw will be without most of his regular squad for the competition in Russia starting on June 17, with a much-changed Germany set to face Australia, Chile and Cameroon.
