Germany's concluding Euro 2016 qualifiers.
Lukas Podolski has been ruled out of Germany's final Euro 2016
qualifiers against Republic of Ireland and Georgia due to an
ankle injury.
Podolski failed to score in seven appearances across the
campaign – his last international strike coming against
Australia in March.
A DFB statement read: "The Galatasaray forward travelled from
Turkey to Frankfurt despite an ankle injury, but following a
diagnosis from the DFB medical team, it was decided that the
World Cup winner would play no part in the games against
Ireland and Georgia.
"Podolski left the squad in Frankfurt on Tuesday afternoon and
will receive further treatment back at his club."
Germany coach Joachim Low is yet to select a replacement for
the former Arsenal and Bayern Munich man, as the reigning
world champions aim to secure the point they require to book a
place at next year's tournament in France.
