National team
Hummels withdraws from international duty
Germany coach Joachim Löw will be without defender Mats Hummels for the national team's friendly match against the USA in Cologne on Wednesday (live on ARD from 20:45 CET) and the European Championship qualifier against Gibraltar in Faro, Portugal on Saturday (live on RTL from 20:45 CET).
The Borussia Dortmund centre-back has been nursing a hip injury for several weeks now, which forced him to play through the pain barrier in the Black and Yellows' recent 3-1 DFB Cup final defeat at the hands of VfL Wolfsburg. Hummels will be unavailable for both international matches.
