Dortmund centre-back Nico Schlotterbeck suffered a foot injury in Dortmund’s 1-1 draw with Hamburger SV, and he will miss the World Cup qualifier against Luxembourg on Friday.
Nico Schlotterbeck will miss Germany’s World Cup qualifier against Luxembourg on Friday, according to reports. The Dortmund centre-back took a blow to his foot during Saturday’s 1-1 draw with Hamburger SV and has been unable to train since.
Waldemar Anton is expected to partner with Jonathan Tah in central defence in Schlotterbeck’s absence.
There’s still hope Schlotterbeck could be available for Germany’s next match against Slovakia on Monday, but it’s uncertain at this stage. Karim Adeyemi will also miss the Luxembourg match due to suspension, adding to Nagelsmann’s selection headaches.
Germany will be looking to secure a win against Luxembourg to keep their World Cup qualification hopes on track. Despite Schlotterbeck’s absence, Nagelsmann’s side remains strong, and they’ll be favoured to win the match.
The match against Luxembourg is a must-win for Germany, and they’ll be looking to bounce back from their recent struggles. With Schlotterbeck out, Nagelsmann will need to make tactical adjustments to ensure Germany’s defence remains solid.
