FRANKFURT, Germany : Striker Niclas Fuellkrug came off the bench to grab an equaliser against Switzerland that sends Germany through to the last 16 of Euro 2024, creating a serious selection headache for German coach Julian Nagelsmann in the process.

"It's those moments where we really need him, and he makes the argument for both jobs, playing in the starting XI or coming off the bench, so it's both good luck and bad luck for him that he's so good in that role," Nagelsmann told reporters. "It was a superb goal - it wasn't easy, that header, and now he has one more week to give it everything in training, and then we'll see who we play in the round of 16 and prepare for that match," Nagelsmann said.
The Germans will find out their last 16 opponents on Tuesday when England meet Slovenia and Denmark play Serbia to complete Group C, with the second-placed team in that group set to meet the Germans in Dortmund June 29.
