Germany could be without Sebastian Rudy for their final World Cup group game after he suffered a possible broken nose during the 2-1 victory over Sweden. The Bayern Munich midfielder took a boot to the face after just over half an hour of the game. “Sebastian Rudy may well have broken his nose. It wouldn’t stop bleeding, so we had to take him off,” said Low, who replaced Rudy with Ilkay Gundogan. “He may still be able to play on Wednesday though. We’ll have to wait and see.”
Jerome Boateng will also miss the clash with South Korea through suspension, having been sent off eight minutes from time against Sweden, and Low assessed the damage to his squad, saying: “We have to take stock and see what the situation is. Marco Reus started having cramps in his legs 10 minutes before the whistle, Boateng won’t be playing, Rudy broke his nose.
