Jones misses out
Schalke 04 midfielder Jermaine Jones will not make his Germany debut next weekend after sustaining an injury in his club's 1-1 draw with Hamburg on Saturday.
The 26-year-old was named in Joachim Loew's squad for the two remaining Euro 2008 qualifiers against Cyprus next Saturday and Wales four days later, but has had to withdraw after picking up an ankle injury from the Bundesliga clash.
Jones was injured 25 minutes into the game, but the extent of the injury only surfaced after a post-match scan. There was no word on how long he will be on the sidelines for.
Loew has not named a replacement for Jones in the Germany squad expected to assemble in Frankfurt on Tuesday.
