Bitter news for Joachim Löw and the DFB team: Defender Lukas Klostermann injured himself in training.

Herzogenaurach - Bad news for the German team and coach Joachim Löw: He will have to do without a defender if it comes to Portugal.

Lukas Klostermann injured himself during the training of the substitute players of the national soccer team on Wednesday.

The full-back from RB Leipzig suffered a muscle injury on the back of his right thigh, as the DFB announced on Thursday.

The 25-year-old Klostermann now has to undergo daily examinations and will most likely not be available for national coach Joachim Löw in the second European Championship group game on Saturday (6 p.m.) in Munich against Portugal.

Besides Klostermann, Serge Gnabry was also missing in the first complete team training session on Thursday in Herzogenaurach after the 0: 1 at the start of the tournament against France.

The offensive man from FC Bayern completed an individual load control unit in the team camp, it said.

After his knee injury, Jonas Hofmann was back on the field.

However, the Gladbacher completed an individual unit there.

He too shouldn't be an alternative for the Portugal game.


Leon Goretzka does the entire training

Leon Goretzka was one of the 23 players who were able to complete the entire training session in the Adi-Dassler Stadium.

According to Löw, the Bayern professional is at least an alternative as a substitute for the Portugal game after his hamstring tore.

"I think he will be a good option as the game progresses," said Loew.


After the opening defeat, Löw wants to focus on the penetration in the attack before the duel with superstar Cristiano Ronaldo.

You could “already address things, show what can be done better.

And you can apply the lever selectively in training, ”said Löw.
