Rüdiger questionable
Germany still shaky about its defensive boss
Germany's national team is still in doubt as to whether its chief defender will be able to play. The DFB announced on Thursday after the secret training session in Herzogenaurach whether Antonio Rüdiger will be able to play in the round of 16 against Denmark will only be decided "shortly before the game" on Saturday evening in Dortmund.
However, the central defender had taken "the next step" towards recovery with regard to his thigh strain, it said.
Injured against Switzerland
Rüdiger - a regular in the Real Madrid defense at club level - suffered the muscle injury in the last group game in the 1-1 draw against Switzerland last Sunday. If he is not ready for the game against the Danes, Germany will have to withdraw their entire central defense. Rüdiger's partner Jonathan Tah is suspended after picking up his second yellow card of the tournament. First substitutes are Nico Schlotterbeck and Waldemar Anton.
