“I had some muscular problems during the week. With the strain of the match, the grievances rared-up again and after speaking to Joachim Löw, we decided that I shouldn’t take any risks and instead go through the rehabilitation programme in Bremen,” explained the 31 year old on Saturday evening. The German national team will take on Belgium in a friendly game in Nuremburg on Wednesday, 20.08.2008 (kick-off 9pm).
