Berlin: Captain Manuel Neuer is the latest Germany star ruled out of tomorrow's World Cup qualifier against minnows San Marino, the German FA (DFB) confirmed yesterday.

The 30-year-old Bayern Munich goalkeeper withdrew because he felt unwell shortly before Germany's flight to Rimini to face the microstate in northern Italy. He will also miss next Tuesday's friendly against Italy in Milan in Germany's last international of 2016.

In Neuer's absence, Barcelona's Marc Andre ter-Stegen and Bayer Leverkusen's Bernd Leno will take over in the Germany goal. Neuer is the latest first-choice star to drop out alongside Real Madrid's Toni Kroos, Jerome Boateng, Mesut Ozil and Julian Brandt.
