Pascal Gross looks disappointed and Kaoru Mitoma turns on the magic (Image: PA)
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.
