Injury rules Kai Havertz out of internationals
Kai Havertz is not available for Germany for the forthcoming internationals against Belarus on Saturday 6 November and against Northern Ireland on Tuesday 19 November.

Havertz has informed the Germany coach Joachim Löw that he is unavailable for Germany's two Euro qualifiers in Mönchengladbach and in Frankfurt.
