Inter Milan defender Bisseck to miss Germany games after getting injured in Champions League final
Bisseck only made a short appearance in Saturday's final, going on as a substitute in the 54th minute, then off again in the 62nd with an apparent right leg injury.
The German soccer federation (DFB) said Sunday that Bisseck had muscular problems at the back of his right thigh, ruling him out of the Nations League semifinal against Portugal in Munich on Wednesday, as well as the final or third-place playoff against Spain or France four days later.
Germany coach Julian Nagelsmann called up Monaco defender Thilo Kehrer in Bisseck's place. Kehrer was to join the rest of the squad Monday at its training base in Herzogenaurach.
The 28-year-old Kehrer has made 27 appearances for Germany, though none since June 2023.
Mainz midfielder Nadiem Amiri left the camp Saturday and will miss the games with what the DFB said were 'adductor problems.'
Nagelsmann had previously called up Mainz forward Jonathan Burkardt to replace the injured Stuttgart midfielder Angelo Stiller.
Stiller wasn't fully fit but was involved in three of Stuttgart's four goals as it defeated Arminia Bielefeld 4-2 in the German Cup final.

Arsenal fumble a sale! Gunners rejected by Portuguese giants after asking for €30m for defender Jakub Kiwior
Kiwior linked with Arsenal exit FC Porto eye Gunners defender Put off by €30m price tag Follow GOAL on WhatsApp! 🟢📱 WHAT HAPPENED? According to Portuguese newspaper A Bola, Porto were keen on the Poland international but baulked at Arsenal's €30m (£26m) asking price. Instead, they moved to sign Southampton centre-back and compatriot Jan Bednarek, who joined for £6.5m. THE BIGGER PICTURE Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta is reportedly keen on keeping Kiwior for next season but the player is said to be considering a transfer exit in a bid to get more game time. He has been linked with a Serie A switch but as of now, he remains in the Gunners squad. DID YOU KNOW? The 25-year-old, who can play at centre-back and left-back, has made 68 appearances for Arsenal in all competitions, scoring three goals in the process. But the Pole is very much behind Gabriel Magalhaes and William Saliba in the pecking order and that has been reflected in his 45 starts for the club. WHAT NEXT? It remains to be seen if the former Spezia and Zilina star, who has 35 caps for his country, will still be an Arsenal player when the summer transfer window shuts in a few weeks.

Newcastle 'make' improved offer for RB Leipzig's Benjamin Šeško
Newcastle have submitted an improved second bid for RB Leipzig striker Benjamin Šeško according to the Athletic's David Ornstein. Their new bid is believed to be in the region of €80m up front, after an opening bid of €75m and €5m in add-ons was rejected by the Bundesliga club. The report states that the Slovenian forward is still wanted by Manchester United, but indications suggest there is an unwillingness to pay the same sum as the Magpies, which puts Eddie Howe's side in a strong position as things stand. Positive talks have also taken place between the clubs and the 22-year-old, but nothing is agreed yet and there is no guarantee of the outcome or the striker's preferred destination, with it still possible Šeško stays with Leipzig. Newcastle have signed only Anthony Elanga in a frustrating summer to date, with Alexander Isak returning to club training amid a desire to leave the club and serious interest from Premier League champions Liverpool. 📸 Maja Hitij - 2025 Getty Images
