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.
