Inter Milan defender Bisseck to miss Germany games after getting injured in Champions League final
MUNICH (AP) — Inter Milan defender Yann Aurel Bisseck will miss Germany's upcoming Nations League games after getting injured in the team's Champions League final loss to Paris Saint-Germain. 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. ___ AP soccer:

Germany sweat over Yann Aurel Bisseck's fitness
Yann Aurel Bisseck's Champions League final appearance lasted just eight minutes as Inter capitulated against Paris Saint-Germain on Saturday night. The 24-year-old replaced Benjamin Pavard in the 54th minute but after a sprint and collision with Achraf Hakimi, sustained an injury that could rule the defender out of Germany's UEFA Nations League finals campaign. Bisseck was nominated by Julian Nagelsmann for their game against Portugal on Wednesday night in Munich, with the Nations League final on Sunday. According to Sport Bild, a thigh strain is the early diagnosis, which would likely see Bisseck ruled out of Germany's upcoming games. Germany's injury concerns grow ahead of UEFA Nations League finals It's a blow to Nagelsmann and Germany, who have already seen Nadiem Amiri withdraw from the squad while Jonathan Burkardt – both of Mainz – also sustain an injury, although the latter should be fit enough to play a part in the squad. Bisseck's injury would leave Nagelsmann with Jonathan Tah, Robin Koch and Waldemar Anton as the team's remaining central-defenders, until a replacement is called upon. GGFN | Daniel Pinder

Torsten Silz/dpa Midfielder Nadiem Amiri has left the Germany training camp due to adductor problems, the German Football Federation (DFB) said on Saturday.

Advertisement Germany face Portugal in the semi-finals on Wednesday. The winner will face either 2020-21 champions France or title holders Spain in the final. Due to the preparations for the tournament, coach Julian Nagelsmann and DFB sporting director Rudi Völler have decided to skip the Champions League final in Munich between Paris Saint-Germain and Inter Milan. "We received an invitation, but we said 'thank you' and won't be going," Nagelsmann said. "We will stay with the team and watch the final together, because we want to use the time with the group. Otherwise, we would be away for half a day," he explained. Advertisement Nagelsmann added that, in his position, one should remain neutral, but said that he will have his fingers crossed for national team player and Inter defender Yann Aurel Bisseck. "We have a player in the final, fingers crossed he makes a good game and come to us with a successful result. That would be better for him and for us," he said.

Freiburg close to Champions League - Kiel and Bochum relegated
Freiburg's Lucas Hoeler (R) celebrates scoring his side's second goal during the German Bundesliga soccer match between Holstein Kiel and SC Freiburg at Holstein Stadium. Claus Bergmann/dpa Freiburg and Mainz boosted their European ambitions with Bundesliga victories on Saturday at Holstein Kiel and Bochum, respectively, which coupled with other results saw Kiel and Bochum relegated. Freiburg came from behind through Johan Manzambi late in the first half and Lucas Höler's header in the 58th to beat Kiel 2-1 and remain fourth en route to a first-ever place in the Champions League. The hosts had led from Lasse Rosenboom. Advertisement Freiburg's victory means that they can only be caught by Borussia Dortmund, who are four points back but need to win at 2024 champions Bayer Leverkusen on Sunday to stay in contention. Mainz are out of the top four race despite their 4-1 at Bochum, and so are RB Leipzig who were held 0-0 at Werder Bremen and won't be in the elite event a seventh straight year. Mainz took the lead with the last kick of the first half from Nadiem Amiri's curling free-kick. Philipp Mwene and Jonathan Burkardt made it 3-0, before Gerrit Holtmann got a consolation goal and Paul Nebel wrapped up matters for Mainz. Still up for grabs are one spot each in the Europa League and Conference League, with Mainz in sixth ahead of Leipzig. Advertisement Bochum are relegated for the seventh time at the bottom of the table, and Kiel's hopes of reaching the relegation play-off in their maiden top flight season ended because third last Heidenheim triumphed 3-0 at Union Berlin. Heidenheim have a small chance to save themselves without a play-off in next week's finale, with St Pauli and Hoffenheim the other strugglers. Scheduled for later Saturday was Bayern Munich v Borussia Mönchengladbach which Bayern icon Thomas Müller set to play his last home game after 25 years at the club, and Bayern then to receive the trophy after clinching the title last week.

Bochum and Holstein Kiel relegated from Bundesliga and Leipzig fails to reach Champions League
BERLIN (AP) — Bochum and Holstein Kiel were relegated from the Bundesliga on Saturday while Leipzig's hopes of Champions League qualification were over after drawing at Werder Bremen 0-0. Heidenheim made sure of at least a playoff place with one round remaining. Last-placed Bochum lost at home to Mainz 4-1, and Kiel lost at home 2-1 to Freiburg, which consolidated fourth place and was well-placed for Champions League qualification. Leipzig's scoreless draw in Bremen left it four points behind Freiburg with one game remaining, meaning it can no longer qualify for Europe's lucrative premier competition. Neither Bochum nor Kiel have any possibility of catching third-from-bottom Heidenheim following the latter's 3-0 win at Union Berlin. With one game remaining, Bochum had 22 points, Kiel 25, and Heidenheim 29 – just two behind St. Pauli, which has two matches remaining. St. Pauli plays its penultimate match at third-placed Eintracht Frankfurt on Sunday. Bochum needed to avoid defeat and hope for a favor from Union against Heidenheim at the same time. But Nadiem Amiri and Phillipp Mwene scored either side of the break for Mainz, before Jonathan Burkardt made it 3-0. Gerrit Holtmann scored Bochum's late consolation before Paul Nebel completed the scoring in stoppage time, confirming demotion for Dieter Hecking's team. Bochum was promoted to the Bundesliga as the second division champion in 2021 , ending an 11-year absence from the top division. Kiel was promoted for the first time only last season and it's a quick return to the second division for coach Marcel Rapp's team. It started well against Freiburg with Lasse Rosenboom firing Kiel ahead in the 24th minute, but Johan Manzambi equalized before the break, then Lucas Höler headed Freiburg toward the Champions League. Freiburg moved four points clear of Borussia Dortmund, which visits Bayer Leverkusen on Sunday for Xabi Alonso's last home game as Leverkusen coach. Bayern Munich, which clinched the title with two rounds to spare last weekend, was to be presented with the trophy after hosting Borussia Mönchengladbach later. ___ AP soccer:
