Brown returns to Germany training ahead of Paraguay tie

Nathaniel Brown has returned to full training with Germany and is expected to be available for the knockout tie against Paraguay.

The Eintracht Frankfurt left-back missed Thursday's 2-1 defeat by Ecuador after picking up a hamstring injury, but he was back in group work on Saturday and trained without issue again on Sunday in North Carolina.

Brown had impressed in Germany's first two matches against Curaçao and Ivory Coast, while David Raum struggled in his place against Ecuador.

Julian Nagelsmann is now expected to restore his preferred starting side for the Paraguay match. Nico Schlotterbeck remains Germany's main high-profile absentee.

The winner of Germany v Paraguay will face either France or Sweden in the next round.
