Leipzig’s Timo Werner (26/tear of the syndesmosis ligament) definitely cannot help with the title mission “Qatar 2022”.
Flick: “I’m very sorry for Timo personally because he’s missing out on the World Cup, which he really wanted to play. But especially for the team, Timo’s absence is a bitter loss. We have to do without an excellent striker with a high goal rate, even in the national jersey, and also without a real team player. First of all, we all wish Timo that he gets fit again quickly.”
Besides him, Wolfsburg’s Lukas Nmecha (23/partial tear of the patella tendon) and Gladbach’s Florian Neuhaus (25/cruciate ligament tear) are also missing.
This morning it was also announced that Marco Reus (33) cannot take part in the World Cup.
