Florian Wirtz out with ankle injury for Germany

Germany's Florian Wirtz will not play in the UEFA Nations League quarterfinal against Italy. The 21-year-old midfielder is one of Germany's top young talents and a key player for the team. Wirtz injured his ankle during a Bundesliga match against Werder Bremen on March 8. He had to leave the game early, and further assessments revealed a ligament injury. Bayer Leverkusen, his club, announced that Wirtz will be sidelined for several weeks. This means he will miss the important match against Italy in the Nations League.
