MUNICH (Germany): Four German players were nursing injuries from their 4-2 victory over Portugal at the weekend in
Euro 2020
and skipped training on Monday, the team said.
Defenders
Mats Hummels
and
Lukas Halstenberg
, who came on as a substitute, as well as midfielders
Ilkay Gundogan
and
Thomas Mueller
, were all missing from training at their Herzogenaurach base north of Munich.
The team statement did not mention the four's prospects for making Wednesday's final group game against Hungary.
It said Hummels and Mueller were nursing different knee injuries, with the latter sustaining a capsule injury in his right knee during Saturday's Group F win over Portugal.
Gundogan and Halstenberg had suffered muscle injuries.
Germany have three points, as many as Portugal and one behind group leaders France.
They will advance with a victory over Hungary but could also qualify with a draw if France do not lose their game against the Portuguese. The Hungarians, in last place with one point, need to win to have any chance of progressing.
