Germany sweat over Yann Aurel Bisseck’s fitness | OneFootball

Yann Aurel Bisseck’s Champions League final appearance lasted just eight minutes as Inter capitulated against Paris Saint-Germain on Saturday night. The 24-year-old replaced Benjamin Pavard in the 54th minute but after a sprint and collision with Achraf Hakimi, sustained an injury that could rule the defender out of Germany’s UEFA Nations League finals campaign.

Bisseck was nominated by Julian Nagelsmann for their game against Portugal on Wednesday night in Munich, with the Nations League final on Sunday. According to Sport Bild, a thigh strain is the early diagnosis, which would likely see Bisseck ruled out of Germany’s upcoming games.

Germany’s injury concerns grow ahead of UEFA Nations League finals

It’s a blow to Nagelsmann and Germany, who have already seen Nadiem Amiri withdraw from the squad while Jonathan Burkardt – both of Mainz – also sustain an injury, although the latter should be fit enough to play a part in the squad.

Bisseck’s injury would leave Nagelsmann with Jonathan Tah, Robin Koch and Waldemar Anton as the team’s remaining central-defenders, until a replacement is called upon.
