Pascal Gross is a German international.

But his debut for the senior national team ended in another setback for Hansi Flick’s side.

The Albion midfielder went on as a 64th-minute substitute in a 4-1 defeat at home to Kaoru Mitoma's Japan in a friendly.

Two very late goals, just after Mitoma’s 84th-minute exit, boosted the winning margin.

Germany play France on Tuesday in another friendly while Japan meet Turkey in Belgium.
