Cologne, Sep 3 (DPA) Germany will have a full 23-man squad for Saturday's friendly international against South Africa in Cologne.

Striker Lukas Podolski, who had been labouring under a calf injury, and midfielder Mesut Ozil (knee) were Thursday pronounced fully fit.

Coach Joachim Loew is expected to use the last friendly match before Germany's final three World Cup qualifying matches to test one or two of his younger players.

That could mean a chance at some stage for Werder Bremen's Ozil or VfB Stuttgart's uncapped midfielder Sami Khedira - like Ozil a member of the Germany side that won the under-21 European Championships in June.
