Internet Desk: Germany’s Mario Gomez has been ruled out of the rest of Euro 2016 with a thigh muscle injury, while Sami Khedira and Bastian Schweinsteiger are doubtful after being injured in Saturday’s quarter-final win over Italy.
Gomez, who scored two goals in Euro 2106 and is the team’s only out-and-out striker, tore a muscle fibre in his right thigh.
Khedira, who also missed their winning 2014 World Cup final through injury, was taken off in the 16th minute after overstretching during a challenge for the ball in Germany’s 6-5 victory on penalties over the Italians.
The 29-year-old had played in every match of the tournament so far as Germany eye a fourth continental title but like captain Schweinsteiger he is doubtful for the rest of the tournament.
Khedira suffered an adductor muscle injury, while Schweinsteiger stretched a ligament in his right knee. Germany will also be without suspended central defender Mats Hummels who was ruled out of the semi-final with a second yellow card on Saturday.

On the other hand, we denounce with righteous indignation and dislike men who are so beguiled and demoralized by the charms of pleasure of the moment
