Lahm strikes upbeat note

Philipp Lahm, Germany's 2010 FIFA World Cup South Africa™ captain, insists the squad can cope with their mounting injury problems.

Coach Joachim Low has already been deprived of five players for the tournament, with Schalke defender Heiko Westermann the latest to be ruled out.

The withdrawal of Westermann, who broke his foot during Saturday's 3-0 friendly win over Hungary in Budapest, comes after injury had put paid to the hopes of goalkeeper Rene Adler, Simon Rolfes, Christian Trasch and, most importantly, skipper Michael Ballack.

Those injuries will hardly make Germany's task any easier - they are in a tough-looking group alongside Serbia, Ghana and Australia - but Lahm still believes the squad is strong enough to make an impact in South Africa.

"That we have lost players who are enormously important for us is a shame," said the Bayern Munich full-back, chosen as Low's captain in place of Ballack, at a press conference today.

"But we still have a top squad which can go far." Buy Germany World Cup Tickets online at cheaper price.

Muller's bike blow for Germany

Germany's rising star Thomas Muller was left needing stiches to a chin injury after falling off a mountain bike at his team's 2010 FIFA World Cup South Africa training camp in northern Italy today. The 20-year-old forward, who won a domestic double with Bayern Munich in the 2009/10 season, fell from his bike as part of the team's training and was left with a cut knee and a gash on his chin, the German Football Federation (DFB) confirmed. He received stitches from team doctor Josef Schmitt, but the DFB stressed Mueller has no muscle or bone injuries after the crash in the Alps near Eppan.

The German team have been hit by a spate of injuries ahead of South Africa 2010, which starts on 11 June, with midfielders Christian Traesch and captain Michael Ballack both ruled out of the month-long tournament with ankle injuries. ticket4football.com provides fans with the facility to buy Germany World Cup Tickets online at cheaper price.

Dortmund haggle over Lewandowski

Borussia Dortmund have confirmed their interest in Poland international Robert Lewandowski, but have warned his club Lech Poznan that they must drop their asking price if a deal is to be reached.

The 21-year-old striker, who has also attracted the interest of Serie A side Genoa, is reportedly keen on a move to Dortmund but the club's director of sport Michael Zorc said the two parties are still some way off agreeing a price.

"We can say that the boy would like to transfer to Borussia Dortmund," Zorc told Sport1 television. "But we are not prepared to fulfil the demands Poznan have made to us."

Lewandowski came second in the vote for Poland's player of the year in 2009 and has already made 20 appearances for the national team, scoring six goals.
