Leipzig, Germany - Robert Enke will earn his fifth cap for Germany in goal in Saturday's World Cup qualifier against Liechtenstein in Leipzig, coach Joachim Loew said Thursday.

The 31-year-old Hanover keeper returned to the squad after breaking his thumb last autumn. His last match for Germany was the 3-3 draw against Group 4 opponents Finland in Helsinki on September 10.

VfB Stuttgart striker Mario Gomez will also start the game up front, Loew confirmed.

Bayer Leverkusen goalkeeper Rene Adler misses the game with a bruised elbow. Werder Bremen keeper Tim Wiese is a substitute.

Germany lead the group on 10 points, four more than Russia who have a game in hand and play Azerbaijan at home on Saturday.

Germany then travel to Wales on Wednesday while Russia are at Liechtenstein. In the group's other game on Saturday, Wales are at home to Finland. (dpa)
