Sami Khedira out for 6 Months
Real Madrid’s Sami Khedira, was substituted during the second half of the 
international friendly in Milan after landing awkwardly on his right knee.
The 26-year-old Defensive Midfielder was carried off the pitch and It has now been confirmed that his right anterior cruciate ligament was torn, and that he will undergo surgery before beginning a six-month rehabilitation programme.
“Sami will have to be treated surgically,” Germany team doctor Hans-Wilhelm Muller-Wohlfarth said. “We hope to have him for the start of the World Cup.”
Khedira now faces a race against time to be fit for Germany’s World Cup campaign in Brazil. Such injuries usually take at least eight months from which to recover, and often a player will not be fully fit for around a year.
Germany played a 1-1 draw with Italy with Mats Hummel And Ignazio Abate both putting their names on the scoresheet. Germany will now face England in an international friendly next week while Italy will play African Champions, Nigeria in a friendly on November 18 in London.
