Bundesliga players took the knee after the murder of George Floyd last season but the national team have not been kneeling in 2021.
However, captain Manuel Neuer has suggested they could do so when they play England.
He told Kicker: “Basically, we think that’s very good from the English national team and from the teams that also do it in the Premier League.
“We haven’t seen it in this form from the Bundesliga or our international matches. We talk about it in the team.”

However, thousands of Germany fans responded by attending the game wearing rainbow flags while captain Manuel Neuer wore a rainbow armband.
And midfielder Leon Goretzka celebrated by making a heart gesture in front of the Hungarian fans after equalising in the 2-2 draw.
