The defending champions got off their World Cup campaign to a frustrating start as they lost 1-0 to Mexico and will next face Sweden in their second Group F game in Sochi on Saturday.

"We don’t need it [a plane ticket]. We don’t want to go back home. We are thinking to win this game. After this bad start, we know that it’s super difficult, but we know that we are a strong team. We analyzed the game, we saw Sweden play and we are sure that we are winning this game. I think we’ll need them [plane tickets] on July 16," Khedira told journalists.

Germany are widely regarded as one of the favorites to win the World Cup, which will come to an end on 15 July.
