Borussia Dortmund winger Andre Schurrle out of German squad

Borussia Dortmund winger Andre Schurrle has pulled out of Germany's upcoming matches due to an injury suffered over the weekend.

Germany are due to play Finland in a friendly on Aug. 31 before opening their 2018 World Cup qualifying campaign against Norway in Oslo on Sept. 4.

They are in Group C alongside Norway, Northern Ireland, Czech Republic, Azerbaijan and San Marino.
