Joachim Low has announced his final Germany squad for Euro 2012, trimming his initial list from 27 players to 23 ahead of the tournament in June.
Marc-Andre ter Stegen and Julian Draxler, who made their international debuts in Saturday's 5-3 loss to Switzerland, have been cut, along with midfielder Sven Bender and striker Cacau.
The cuts mean that Manuel Neuer, Tim Wiese and Ron-Robert Zieler will be Low's goalkeepers, while Lars Bender has been preferred to his twin brother, Sven.
Cacau's omission leaves Miroslav Klose and Mario Gomez as the only established strikers, with Marco Reus a possible tertiary option.
Germany kick-off their Euro 2012 campaign on Saturday, June 9, against Portugal.
