Ammon News - BBC - Real Madrid midfielder Sami Khedira has been ruled out for up to six months after suffering a knee injury.
The 26-year-old tore a cruciate ligament during Germany's 1-1 friendly draw against Italy in Milan on Friday.
Khedira, who has played for his country 44 times, will now have surgery.
"This is a bitter setback for Sami," said manager Joachim Low. "But he always thinks positively and that is why I am optimistic he will be ready and fit when the World Cup starts."
