Winger Serge Gnabry is set to miss Germany's home European Championship. He suffered a torn left hamstring in the Champions League semi-final defeat against Real Madrid and will miss the last two Bundesliga games of the season, his club Bayern Munich said in a statement on Friday. The Bavarians have not predicted how long the 28-year-old will be out for but such an injury usually takes several weeks to heal. Gnabry, who last played for the national team in November in the defeats against Turkey and Austria, has been out of action several times already this season with hip problems, a broken fo...

Summer, sun, and soccer. It is often a perfect mix and that was never more the case than in 2006, when Germany hosted the men's World Cup. Germany's 20th century history meant flying the flag or wearing the colours was frowned upon in some quarters, but that all changed as a modest national side finished third and enthralled a whole country, which opened its doors to fans from across the world for the party. "I think it's good that I'm no longer the only one with a flag on my car," said the then German president Horst Köhler. Many non-football fans in Germany think Jürgen Klinsmann's side won ...

Borussia Dortmund and Real Madrid's progression to the Champions League final will impact Germany's preparation for the home European Championship, which Bayern Munich winger Serge Gnabry might now miss due to injury. Germany coach Julian Nagelsmann will have to do without players involved in the June 1 Champions League final at London's Wembley when he hold his first pre-tournament training camp from May 26 to May 31 in eastern Germany. "Of course it would be good if everyone was there," Nagelsmann said recently. Madrid's Toni Kroos and Antonio Rüdiger, both set to start for Germany at the Eu...

Real Madrid and Germany midfielder Toni Kroos has made a major sacrifice in a bid to get extra fit ahead of returning to international football at Euro 2024. "I think he's given up sweets since the beginning of the year," his brother Felix Kroos, a former professional footballer, told dpa. "It's all about small percentage gains that you can eke out." The 34-year-old, who just won a fourth Spanish league title with Madrid, quit the Germany team in 2021 but has been persuaded to return for the home Euros in June and July. A wish to prolong his career for as long as possible at the highest level ...

Experts believe that Germany hosting the men's European Football Championship in June and July will have no direct effect on the flagging economy. Euro 2024 will be held across 10 cities from June 14-July 14. It is the biggest sporting event to be held in Germany since the 2006 men's football World Cup, which is fondly remembered by Germans as the "summer fairytale" for its cultural - if not necessarily - economic impact. "The Euros could have a positive psychological and indirect effect on the German economy. Hotels and the catering industry in particular will benefit from additional demand, ...

The prospect of becoming the youngest coach to win the men's European Football Championship is a motivating factor for Germany boss Julian Nagelsmann. Nagelsmann celebrates his 37th birthday nine days after the final in Berlin's Olympic Stadium on July 14. The youngest coach to win the European Championship to date is Spain's José Villalonga, who lifted the trophy with Spain in 1964 aged 44. "A little bit," Nagelsmann told Magenta TV when asked if the age record was on his mind but that it would be "outweighed" by simply winning a fourth Euros on home soil after years of woe for the German men...

Austria midfielder Xaver Schlager has been ruled out of Euro 2024 with a knee ligament tear, his club side RB Leipzig said in a statement on Saturday. He suffered the injury in Friday's 1-1 Bundesliga draw with Hoffenheim. The 26-year-old will undergo surgery in Innsbruck on Sunday, but will be out for at least six months. Leipzig coach Marco Rose had been hopeful it was nothing serious after the match but that proved to be wrong. Before his transfer from Wolfsburg to Leipzig in 2022, the midfielder tore a different cruciate ligament in August 2021. He also missed two months from March due to ...

Germany national team coach Julian Nagelsmann will name his squad for the Euro 2024 on home soil on May 16 in Berlin, the German Football Federation (DFB) said on Friday. The squad announcement will come two days before the last matchday in the Bundesliga. Nagelsmann will be able to name 26 players after European ruling body UEFA approved expanded squads for the tournament on Friday. Germany's first training camp is to begin on May 26 in Blankenhain in the state of Thuringia. It's unclear, however, how many players will be available by then, since players from Bayern Munich, Borussia Dortmund ...
