Ozil concern for Loew

Germany’s Mesut Ozil will undergo a last-minute test on an ankle injury before the World Cup semi-finalists take on Kazakhstan in their Euro 2012 qualifier on Tuesday, the national federation said.

The Real Madrid player scored the second goal in a 3-0 defeat of Turkey in their Group A qualifier on Friday but was replaced as he struggled with his ankle problem.

The 21-year-old was due to miss training today but will “definitely” fly to Astana with the squad tomorrow.

“National coach Joachim Loew has arranged with the doctors and physical trainers to give him a fitness test in the final training session on Monday,” the DFB said.

“It still hurts. But I trust in the swift treatment I have been given by the national team doctors,” Ozil said.

Born and bred in Germany to Turkish parents, Ozil was booed by boisterous Turkish fans who made up more than half of the 74,244-capacity Olympic Stadium crowd, but he silenced the jeers with a 79th-minute goal to seal the win.

His celebrations were muted, however, “out of respect for the land of my forefathers,” the midfielder said.

“Of course I was really happy. It was fantastic for me to score in this match. But I made the spontaneous decision not to overdo the celebrations,” he said.
