Head coach Joachim Low has pleaded with Germany fans not to boo Mesut Ozil and Ilkay Gundogan after they were involved in a political row.

Ozil and Gundogan were both born in Gelsenkirchen to Turkish parents and were targeted by fans during the warm-up friendlies after posing for a picture alongside Turkish president Recep Tayyip Erdogan.

The world champions begin their defence against Mexico in Moscow on Sunday and Low has vowed to protect his two key players.
