The news for Sami Khedira is indeed unfortunate. Following his injury during the Italy-Germany friendly, the German Football Federation confirmed that he suffered a tear of the anterior cruciate ligament in his right knee. This injury requires surgery, and Khedira is expected to be unavailable for approximately six months.
The timing of the injury raises doubts about his participation in the 2014 World Cup, dealing a significant blow to both the German national team and Real Madrid. Khedira had played a crucial role in Germany’s qualification efforts, and his absence will be felt in both the national and club contexts. Real Madrid will be without one of their key players for the remainder of the season, and the German national team may have to adjust its plans for the World Cup in light of this unfortunate setback.
