Injured Leno pulls out of Germany squad for Euro 2020 qualifiers

Goalkeeper Bernd Leno has pulled out of the Germany squad for the Euro 2020 qualifying games against Belarus and Estonia due to injury and been replaced by Sven Ulreich.

Leno, 27, was on the bench for Arsenal as they went down 4-1 to Chelsea in the Europa League final on Wednesday, but has been struggling with a ligament injury in his thumb for several weeks.

"I know that Bernd has been in pain for weeks, his thumb is immobilised with a splint, so we'll have to do without him in the upcoming internationals," said Germany goalkeeping coach Andreas Kopke.
