The German federation (DFB) has confirmed a significant absence in their ranks less than 24 hours before the World Cup qualifying match against Luxembourg. Joshua Kimmich, considered one of the team's pillars, will miss the match due to physical discomfort suffered during the last training session.
According to the official medical report issued by the DFB, Kimmich has a capsule injury in his right ankle. The statement details that "our captain sustained a capsule injury in his right ankle during training yesterday and, although he will travel with the team to Luxembourg tomorrow, he will not be available to play".
This absence represents a setback for the coach, who will have to readjust his midfield. Kimmich's absence will require finding alternatives to cover his role, both in defense and in building the game in the midfield.

Despite the injury, the Bayern Munich player will maintain his commitment to the national team, as he will join the team on their trip to Luxembourg. His presence, even off the field, aims to support the group in this crucial commitment.
The DFB hopes the injury is not severe and that Kimmich can reintegrate into the team's dynamics as soon as possible. The focus is now on the last qualifying match against Slovakia, hoping that this last-minute absence is just a scare.
