Schweinsteiger is named Germany's new Captain, but he hasnt yet played for Bayern this season through injury so its unknown if he'll play, Khedira is also out with injury and of course Lahm, Mertesacker and Klose are retired.

Gomez
Draxler - Reus - Shurrle
Kramer - Kroos
Durm - Howedes - Ginter - Grosskreutz
Neuer
That is an awesome lineup even without Schweini and Boateng. The LB and RB positions are fully up for grabs now that Lahm has retired.
Schweinsteiger being named captain was no surprise. He was already the captain even though Lahm wore the armband. Not taking anything away from Lahm but Schweinsteiger is the heart and sole of the German squad (and Bayern),
