Injured Guendogan, Oxlade-Chamberlain out of Euro
Print Edition
GERMANY midfielder Ilkay Guendogan has been ruled out of Euro 2016 after sustaining a serious knee injury in training with Borussia Dortmund, the club said.
The 25-year-old, who also missed Germany’s winning 2014 World Cup campaign through injury and has been linked with a move to the English Premier League next season, injured his knee cap in training yesterday.
“Season end and Euro out. Guendogan dislocated his knee cap in training,” Dortmund said on Twitter. “Get well soon.”
His injury could not have come at a worse time for national team coach Joachim Loew, who will now have to wait and see whether captain Bastian Schweinsteiger, another holding midfielder, will recover from his injury in time for the tournament in France starting on June 10.
Guendogan was seen as a likely successor to 31-year-old Schweinsteiger in Germany’s midfield alongside Toni Kroos.
Also, England midfielder Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain is expected to miss the European Championship after being ruled out for up to two months by Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger.
Wenger said yesterday that Oxlade-Chamberlain has had a setback in his recovery from a knee injury, and faces 6-8 weeks out. Oxlade-Chamberlain has not played since hurting his knee in a Champions League game against Barcelona on February 23.
England coach Roy Hodgson could also be without midfielder Jordan Henderson for Euro 2016, with the Liverpool captain currently out with a knee ligament injury.
