Khedira, who had played in every match of the tournament so far, was taken off early in that game after overstretching during a challenge for the ball.

“Sami Khedira won’t play for us on Thursday. We will do everything for him to be available for a potential final,” Loew told reporters.

Germany are already without suspended Mats Hummels and injured striker Mario Gomez, out for the rest of the tournament after also being injured against Italy.
