Germany turn to youth

World champions Germany are set to blood a crop of rising stars in Sunday's friendly at home to Slovakia as head coach Joachim Loew fine-tunes his Euro 2016 squad.

Loew purposefully chose Slovakia, who will make their debut at a European championships in France, as they are expected to play in a similar style to Germany's Group C opponents Ukraine, Poland and Northern Ireland.

Slovakia "will try to knock us out of our rhythm" in Augsburg, according to Loew, who wants to see how some of the new blood in the Germany squad cope with senior football.

Uncapped Joshua Kimmich, Dortmund's Julian Weigl, Leverkusen's Julian Brandt and Schalke's Leroy Sane, none of whom have yet turned 21, are all set to make their debuts.

ভোটের অধিকার আদায়ে জনগণকে রাস্তায় নামতে হবে: ফখরুল

‘যুবকরা এখনো জানে না ভোট কী। আমাদের আওয়ামী লীগের ভাইরা ভোটটা দিয়েছেন, বলে দিয়েছেন—তোরা আসিবার দরকার নাই, মুই দিয়ে দিনু। স্লোগান ছিল—আমার ভোট আমি দিব, তোমার ভোটও আমি দিব।’
