Bad news for Nmecha, who was going to play in the World Cup with Germany but Wolfsburg have confirmed the worst predictions.
Wolfsburg said on their social media: "Lukas Nmecha suffered an injury against Dortmund and he will be out of action for a few weeks." The German striker, who has English nationality, was injured during the match against Borussia Dortmund in the Bundesliga.
"Admittedly, this is surely a disappointing development. Keep your head up and we are all wishing you the best in your recovery Lukas!"
The 23-year-old footballer was almost certain to be called up by Flick to play in the World Cup. His good performances with Wolfsburg and his seven international appearances are a testament to his abilities, but he will have to watch the tournament from home.
