Nico Schlotterbeck ruled out of Germany matches against Serbia and Greece

German defender Nico Schlotterbeck will miss upcoming Nations League matches against Serbia and Greece due to injury. The 26-year-old Borussia Dortmund center-back sustained a lateral ligament injury in his right ankle during a warm-up at a recent training session.

Schlotterbeck's absence follows a previous injury period and leaves the German squad with reduced defensive options. For the upcoming fixtures, including the match against Greece at Toumba, players such as Waldemar Anton and Malik Thiaw are expected to form the defensive partnership.

Additionally, Germany will be without captain Joshua Kimmich for these matches, as manager Jürgen Klopp has opted to rest him as part of a squad rotation strategy.
