Germany recalls Boateng, Sane for World Cup qualifiers<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

Germany recalls Boateng, Sane for World Cup qualifiers:- Jerome Boateng and Leroy Sane were recalled by Germany on Friday as it bids to wrap up World Cup qualification against Northern Ireland next week.<\/span><\/p>\n

World champion Germany, which has eight wins from eight games in Europe Group C, will seal its place at next year’s tournament in Russia if it can secure a point against second-placed Northern Ireland in Belfast on Oct. 5.<\/span><\/p>\n

Should the Germans slip up for the first time, they have another chance in the final qualifier three days later against Azerbaijan in Kaiserslautern.<\/span><\/p>\n

Germany coach Joachim Loew said his side’s target remains 10 wins from 10 qualifiers.<\/span><\/p>\n

“We’ve played a very strong qualifying campaign so far. That’s how it should stay,” he said.<\/span><\/p>\n

Goalkeeper Manuel Neuer, defender Jonas Hector and forward Mario Gomez are out due to injury. Midfielders Mesut Ozil (right knee problem) and Sami Khedira (right thigh strain) were also omitted.<\/span><\/p>\n

“It’s a shame that a few of our leading players couldn’t be there,” Loew said. “The decisive thing for us is that the players are fully fit next year.”<\/span><\/p>\n

Germany has 24 points in the group, five more than Northern Ireland, which is already assured of second place. Group winners qualify automatically, while the top eight runners-up from nine groups go on to playoffs to decide the other four places allocated to Europe.<\/span><\/p>\n

“We’re all looking forward to the game in Belfast. There will be a special atmosphere,” Loew said.<\/span><\/p>\n

“What awaits us from a sporting point of view can be ascertained from the fact that Northern Ireland has not conceded a goal in qualifying except in the first game against us.”<\/span><\/p>\n
