Schlotterbeck ‘to miss’ Serbia and Greece after ankle injury | OneFootball

Germany will be without Schlotterbeck for their Nations League matches against Serbia and in Greece after he injured his right ankle in training.

Bild reports the centre-back is leaving the camp in Herzogenaurach, while Sky Germany says it is a lateral ligament injury. Bild also indicates surgery will not be required.

The setback came in today’s final session. During a dribbling drill around poles in four groups, he lost control of the ball and veered into another group.

He could now also be absent for Borussia Dortmund. His chances of featuring against Werder Bremen on Friday, nine October, are unknown, and treatment will be handled by Dortmund for now.

It is a blow for the 26-year-old, who reportedly had a good chance of captaining Germany in Joshua Kimmich’s absence.
