This will come as a big blow to those who are German national team fans and Borussia Dortmund fans, as center- Nico Schlotterbeck is expected to be out “several months” with an ankle injury per Sky Germany’s Florian Plettenberg:
BREAKING | Bitter news for Germany: Nico Schlotterbeck’s World Cup is over.
MRI scans have confirmed a layoff of several weeks following the ankle injury to his left foot suffered against Ivory Coast. Antonio Rüdiger is expected to replace him for the time being.
DFB have now confirmed: Nico Schlotterbeck is expected to be sidelined for „several months“ after suffering a ligament injury to his left ankle.
Julian Nagelsmann: “Schlotti will be a huge miss for us on the pitch as an outstanding defender, especially because of his excellent build-up play. It could have been his World Cup. Fortunately, he is a very positive character who is already looking ahead.”
This is a tough blow for the Germans and for BVB fans. Waldemar Anton, Antonio Rüdiger, and Malick Thiaw are the three other players, who can play at center-back on the roster.
