No Ballack for Germany
Germany's national team coach Joachim Loew on Tuesday left big name stars Michael Ballack and Miroslav Klose out of the squad which will play friendlies in China and Dubai.
Germany depart on May 26, and will thus travel without Rene Adler, Patrick Helmes and Stefan Kiessling who are all playing for Bayer Leverkusen in the German Cup final the same day.
Loew meanwhile gave first call-ups to two Stuttgart players and two from league leaders Wolfsburg.
Brazilian-born Cacau and Christian Traesch of Stuttgart will join Wolfsburg pair Manuel Neuer and Christian Gentner in the squad.
