Illness rules out Julian Brandt
Bad Luck for Julian Brandt: The Werkself striker has not travelled with the Germany squad to Rimini for Friday’s World Cup qualifier against San Marino.
The 20-year-old is suffering from gastroenteritis. "Obviously, it's a great pity for Julian," said Bayer 04 head coach Roger Schmidt on Wednesday. "He's recovering from the infection at home with his parents. That's the best place for the young lad to be."
