Klose out, Cacau in for Germany

England vs. Slovenia
 
Mathew Upson will replace the suspended Jamie Carragher at centre-back. Fellow centre-back Ledley King remains sidelined with a groin problem
 
Michael Carrick hurt his ankle on Sunday, but he should be fit enough for a spot on the bench.
 
Slovenia central defender Marko Suler is doubtful after suffering a rib injury against the U.S. Matej Mavric would sub in for him if he can't play. Striker Necj Pecnik has been ruled out of the World Cup after breaking his ankle
 
The following players are one booking away from being suspended for their country's next match: defenders Bostjan Cesar, Bojan Jokic, and Marko Suler, and midfielders Rene Krhin and Andrej Komac for Slovenia; midfielders Steven Gerrard and James Milner for England.
 
United States vs. Algeria
 
The U.S. will be without forward Robbie Findley, who is serving a one game suspension after picking up two yellow cards.

Australia vs. Serbia
 
Australia will be without two key players in winger Harry Kewel and defender Craig Moore, both suspended. The news isn't all bad for the Socceroos, though -midfielder Tim Cahill is set to return after serving a one-match ban.
