Die Mannschaft head coach has had to deal with several injuries to his squad which is due to play http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Netherlands-c753 in a friendly game on Wednesday
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Germany-c2904 team trainer Joachim Low has seen six players withdraw from the national side due to injury. Therefore, he has called up three new stars and has only 19 players available for the encounter in the Amsterdam Arena.
Real Madrid midfielder Mesut Ozil withdrew because of an injury and veteran forward http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Marcel-Schmelzer-c23530 has foot problem, Jerome Boateng sustained a groin
injury and http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Toni-Kroos-c35425 is suffering from a stomach bug.
Speculation has been rife that a few of these stars are not travelling with the team because it is just a friendly fixture, and not a competitive match. However, team manager http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Oliver-c28477 Bierhoff insisted that he fully trusts the clubs
and the players in this regard.
The former attacker claimed that he is disappointed to not have a number of first-team players, but is confident that Die Nationalelf can get the http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Job-c18684 done without them. He further added that he is aware of the fact that top teams
do not risk their players getting injured on international duty in a non-competitive game.
"What annoys us is not having the players here, but we have enough trust in the clubs and the players themselves," he was quoted as saying in an interview.
"It is always a consideration for clubs and the players, at certain times of the year like now, how much of a risk should be taken and it is not optimal for us to have these injuries, but that does not mean we should question the
point of these games," the former http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Hamburger-SV-c39485, Borussia Monchengladbach and AC Milan striker finally concluded.
Bayern Munich attacking midfielder Thomas Muller has travelled with the squad to Netherlands, even though he has a cold. The tactician only has 18 players who are fully fit. He has also called http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Lewis-Holtby-c22175 and Sebastian
Jung for the encounter, and they will certainly take part in the important friendly.
