Neuville out
VfL Borussia Mönchengladbach forward Oliver Neuville has had to pull out of the squad after injuring his foot in Friday night's 1-1 draw with 1. FC Kaiserslautern in the 2. Bundesliga and Löw has decided not to call up a replacement. However, team captain Michael Ballack will be available despite picking up a head injury in Chelsea FC's draw at Portsmouth FC in the English Premier League on Saturday.
