FRANKFURT (AP) -Robert Enke's jersey will be on the team bench when Germany plays its first game since the goalkeeper's suicide, an exhibition against Ivory Coast on Wednesday.

Enke, who was expected to be Germany's starting goalie at next year's World Cup in South Africa, stepped in front of a train last week, stunning the country and leaving it in mourning. The national team canceled Saturday's exhibition against Chile.

Coach Joachim Loew and the entire team attended a memorial service for Enke at his home stadium in Hannover on Sunday before assembling in Duesseldorf, where the team will practice for Wednesday's game in nearby Gelsenkirchen.
