Overview
- Jamal Musiala is out of the Germany squad with a pain reaction in the leg he hurt last summer and he will miss the friendly against Ghana in Stuttgart.
- Coach Julian Nagelsmann said Musiala has about eight weeks to reach full fitness before the World Cup starts on June 11 in North America.
- Florian Wirtz led a 4-3 win over Switzerland in Basel with two goals and two assists, ending an 18-year wait for a Germany victory over the Swiss.
- Wirtz said he checks in on Musiala and hopes he gets back to 100 percent soon because he knows a long injury layoff is hard.
- Nagelsmann has planned Wirtz and Musiala as a key attacking duo for the tournament, which could force tactical changes if Musiala cannot return in time.
