Germany's 18-year-old midfielder Lennart Karl may miss the World Cup after he was sent to the hospital for scans following an unspecified injury in training yesterday.

Karl is considered one of the top young players in any World Cup squad after a breakout season with Bayern Munich, for which he became the club's youngest ever goal-scorer in the Champions League.

“Unfortunately, Lenni injured himself today in training. We need to wait on what happens with that and ,to be honest, it didn’t look so good," Germany coach Julian Nagelsmann said ahead of his team's final World Cup tune-up against the United States on Saturday.
