GERMANY STRIKER MARIO Gomez has been ruled out of the rest of Euro 2016 through injury while Sami Khedira and captain Bastian Schweinsteiger are doubts for the semi-final.
Gomez underwent a scan earlier that showed a torn thigh muscle while Khedira has a partially torn groin muscle and Schweinsteiger suffered knee ligament sprain.
Gomez, who spent last season on loan at Besiktas, was forced off in the second half of his country’s penalty shootout victory over Italy.
“It is very disappointing when, at this crucial stage of the tournament, important players are ruled out,” Low said.
“I’m especially sorry for Mario. He has put in some strong performances at the European Championship and has helped the team not only with his goals.
“We accept the situation and have to find solutions. The quality of the squad is high, I have full confidence in all my players. “We will be ready on Thursday and look forward to the semi-final in Marseille.”
Mats Hummels will definitely miss the last-four clash due to suspension after picking up a second yellow card of the tournament against Italy.
Germany will face the winners of tonight’s quarter-final between France and Iceland on Thursday.
