Germany manager, Joachim Löw confirmed earlier today that striker Timo Werner arrived with flu-like symptoms.
He is currently in quarantine and is still expecting the results from the swab COVID-19 test.
Löw needs Werner for the upcoming UEFA Nations League matches against Ukraine and Switzerland. The Chelsea player will possibly miss the upcoming friendly against Turkey right before those matches against European opponents.
However, there’s a possibility that he will miss all the games if the test turns out positive. The player is currently trying to recover from the symptoms but they are getting worse by the minute and he has everybody worried.
Joachim Löw confirmed Werner’s situation.
During a press conference ahead of the upcoming international matches, Joachim Löw simply said via Goal: “Several tests have been done, but the results are not in yet.”
The manager also analyzed Germany’s progress after the initial Nations League 1-1 draw against Spain: “We have given away leads too often, we lose the merits of our work. You can feel that everyone is in a better rhythm. In September the situation was very different.”
“Games like this are there to see which players can add to our starting XI in the near future,” he said about the friendly vs Turkey.
“This is an opportunity. Who shows himself? In what condition are the players? How are our specifications implemented? I expect players to be greedy, hungry, consistent, and cold-blooded – we have to present ourselves in such a way that the audience feels like seeing us again.”
