Mats Hummels will be ticked off by Germany's management after posting a video of him jumping from a balcony into a swimming pool —days before key World Cup qualifiers. Hummels posted a video on Instagram on Tuesday, shot on a break in Croatia of him leaping into a pool and narrowly missing the edge on landing. The centre-back posted: "Looks more spectacular than it actually is. #donttrythisathome," alongside the video, which attracted lots of comments from fans urging the World Cup winner to be more careful.


Hummels' daredevil video, which attracted almost 300,000 views on Instagram, did not impress Germany's management so close to internationals.


"It would have been worse if he'd jumped in head first. We're not the social media police, yet we will point out that he is a role model,' Germany's team manager Oliver Bierhoff said.
