Low unsure over Khedira, injury for Germany

Germany coach Joachim Low was unsure if Sami Khedira would be available for his side's Euro 2016 semi-final.

Khedira lasted just 16 minutes of Germany's quarter-final victory over Italy in Bordeaux on Saturday.

Low was uncertain as to whether the midfielder would be fit to face either France or Iceland in the last four on Thursday.

"Sami – it's not too positive to have to bring him off after 15 minutes in such a game, he had a problem with his hamstring," he said.

"I don't know if he will heal before Thursday.

Another blow to Low and Co. is a suspension for defender Mats Hummels, who was booked late in regulation time.

While not writing off Iceland, Low expects to face hosts France in Marseille on Thursday.

"France are the favourites, they are the hosts and they have a great side with individual quality," he said.

"Iceland have surprised us, they are well organised in defence.

"It won't be easy for France against such enthusiastic opposition but I think if France put their quality on the pitch they will get to the semi-finals.

"If you're in the semi the goal is to reach the final so I think now we have to focus on recovering.

"A game like this affects the body, we have to make sure to recover the players and we want more."
