Lars Stindl Out of World Cup
Germany and Borussia Monchengladbach forward Lars Stindl has been ruled out of the World Cup through injury.
The 29-year-old suffered an ankle injury during Gladbach's 1-1 Bundesliga draw with Schalke on Saturday.
He will undergo an operation this week and is likely to be out for around three months.

My favorite player during last year's Confederations Cup. I think he was wearing number 9, which is a true central forward. He really clicked up front with that new number 8 and 11.
