Germany paid a high price for a ticket to the round of 16 of Euro 2024

(Dan Tri) - The German team is at risk of losing the official central defender pair Antonio Rudiger and Jonathan Tah in the round of 16 of Euro 2024 for various reasons.

In the final match of Group A at Euro 2024, Germany struggled to draw 1-1 with Switzerland. They were taken the lead by Ndoye in the 28th minute. It was not until the 90+2 minute that Germany equalized thanks to Fullkrug.

With this result, Die Mannschaft won the top spot in Group A with 7 points after 3 matches. They will face the second team in Group C in the round of 16 of Euro 2024. However, the German team paid a heavy price after the draw with Switzerland. They are at risk of losing the official central defender pair in this tournament, Antonio Rudiger and Jonathan Tah, for various reasons. Jonathan Tah will have to sit out the next match of the German team because he is suspended after receiving two yellow cards. In the match against Switzerland, the Leverkusen center-back received a yellow card in the 38th minute for a high leg. Previously, Jonathan Tah received a similar penalty in the opening match of Euro 2024 against Scotland. Meanwhile, Antonio Rudiger suffered a thigh injury while celebrating a goal. After Fullkrug scored the equalizer, Rudiger ran after him to celebrate wildly, only to get hurt and fall to the ground. Earlier in the match, the Real Madrid center-back held his thigh several times. Speaking to the press, coach Julian Nagelsmann admitted: "Rudiger has a problem with his thigh. We are waiting for the medical team's assessment. This could cause difficulties for the German team."

If both Rudiger and Tah are absent, the German national team could face a disaster. Both played extremely well in the group stage and helped the team have a solid defense. At this point, coach Nagelsmann has three other central defenders: Nico Schlotterbeck (Dortmund), Robin Koch (Frankfurt) and Waldemar Anton (Stuttgart). However, they have very limited international experience. According to the schedule, the German national team will play in the Euro 2024 round of 16 match on June 29. From now until then, fans of this team hope that Rudiger can quickly recover from his injury.
