The midfielder is to start in midfield alongside captain Bastian Schweinsteiger at the Stade de France but Loew said that he has not decided yet on three or four places in the line-up.

Crowds leave the Stade de France where explosions were reported to have detonated outside the stadium during the France vs German friendly match near Paris, November 13, 2015.
What should be a great game from Paris I cant help but feel like these two end up neutralising each other and we end up with a 0-0 or 1-1 draw.
Joachim Low has therefore recalled Draxler into his squad, and the playmaker – who was part of Germany’s World Cup-winning set-up past year – is eager to repay the coach’s faith. Police said dozens have been killed in shootings and explosions around Paris, but the match was not halted.
The game was soured by explosions outside the stadium during the first half, which forced fans to remain inside the stadium after the final whistle. The atmosphere was calm but they were slow to filter out.
The attacks follow news that the Germany team were evacuated from their team hotel earlier on Friday due to a bomb scare.

Post-match media activities were canceled, as were Saturday’s scheduled media events at the team’s training camp in Clairefontaine.
