Kai Havertz says his experience Chelsea has him ready for Germany's World Cup clash with Spain.

Germany cannot afford defeat to La Roja after losing to Japan.

A difficult UEFA Nations League campaign and round-of-16 exit to England at the European Championship last summer have increased the pressure on Germany but Havertz is backing his own experience of backs-against-the-wall football to help the team through.

"n the past few years there has been an overhaul of the team, a change of coach and new players so that does play a role but it's not an excuse," he said.

"At the end of the day, what matters are the tournaments so we have to turn things around. We are all in the same boat and we know what is at stake.

"We are in a bad moment now but that can switch around quite fast. It can be the turning point for us. It is a big game but I'm lucky because I've played a few big games at Chelsea."
