Nico Schlotterbeck Sent for Scan After Ankle Problem in Germany Training

The scan could determine whether Germany must change its lineup or captaincy for the Serbia match.

Overview

Schlotterbeck collapsed during a Germany training warm-up and received on-pitch treatment before being escorted from the session.
German outlet SID reported the defender suffered an ankle injury and was taken for an MRI to assess the damage.
The scan has left Schlotterbeck doubtful for the upcoming Serbia game and his immediate selection is therefore unsettled.
The injury is a fresh concern because Schlotterbeck tore ankle ligaments at last summer's World Cup and missed part of Dortmund's preseason as a result.
Teams and fans should watch for the official medical findings and a coach statement on availability, which will determine Germany’s defensive picks and Dortmund’s short-term plans.
