Suffers lateral ligament injury
Schlotterbeck was withdrawn from the Germany squad after sustaining a lateral ligament injury in his right ankle in training Wednesday and is a doubt for Borussia Dortmund's match against Werder Bremen on Oct. 9, though he will not require surgery, according to BILD.
Analysis: Schlotterbeck sustained an injury to the lateral ligament of his right ankle in training Wednesday, forcing him to withdraw from Germany's squad and miss the matches against Serbia and Greece. He is set to continue his treatment with Borussia Dortmund, and the latest report indicates that surgery will not be necessary. His recovery timeline remains undefined beyond the international fixtures, but the concern now extends to his club availability, with his participation against Werder on Oct. 9 already considered at risk.
Suffers foot injury in training
Schlotterbeck was forced to leave Germany training Wednesday after suffering an injury to his right foot and subsequently underwent an MRI, according to BILD.
Analysis: Schlotterbeck picked up the issue shortly after returning to international action following a carefully managed workload due to his lengthy previous injury absence. The center-back had been rested against Greece before returning to Germany's plans for the remainder of the international window, but his status for Thursday's match against Serbia is now uncertain. The results of the MRI should provide more clarity on the severity of the injury and whether it could affect his availability for Borussia Dortmund after the break.
