Three shots vs. England Goretzka shot three times (once on goal) during Tuesday's 2-0 defeat to England.

Impact Goretzka lead the way for Germany in shots, but none of the shots were particularly dangerous. The midfielder was desperate for the equalizer, but in the end his one shot on net didn't trouble Jordan Pickford. Goretzka will be a crucial part of the Bayern Munich midfield.

Makes bench against Portugal Goretzka (thigh) is on the bench for Saturday's match against Portugal.

Impact Goretzka is back in the squad Saturday and as expected he's on the bench. He should get a few minutes against Portugal and if he's feeling well, he'll be an option to start Germany's final group match against Hungary.

Out against France Goretzka (thigh) is not in the squad for Tuesday's match against France.

Impact Goretzka completely misses out Tuesday, which was originally the plan for him in his recovery from a thigh injury. He's trained a few days and it's assumed he'll be back in the team for Germany's second match in group stages.

JUNE 15, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Could be option Tuesday Goretzka (thigh) is fully healed and could be an option off the bench Tuesday against France, according to manager Joachim Low.

Impact Goretzka was originally labeled out for Tuesday's match, but it looks like he fully recovered the last few days. Still, he won't start and even if he plays, it'll probably only be about 20 minutes off the bench in the case Germany need more of a defensive presence in the midfield.

Out of opening match Goretzka (thigh) won't be an option for next Tuesday's match against France, according to the team director. "He is able to train with the team, but he won't be an option for the f...

Impact This was expected to be the case for Goretzka even though he returned to training Wednesday. If he can get a full week of training in, he'll aim to be available for the June 19 contest and go from there. Until he's ready, Ilkay Gundogan is most likely to steal a start in the midfield.

Could train Wednesday Goretzka (thigh) will take part in team training Wednesday, according to Florian Plettenberg of SPORT1.

Impact Goretzka still has about six days before Germany's opening match, so there's a chance he at least makes the bench. There's little reason to push him too hard following a muscle injury, but if he can put in a few training sessions this week, that'll at least be a good sign for his status in group stages.

Unlikely for Euro opener Goretzka (thigh) is still not training in full and is unlikely for the June 15 Euro opener, according to manager Joachim Low.

Impact Unless Goretzka can return to full training later this week, it's hard to see him being ready for the June 15 contest. While it's more than a week away, he missed the final couple matches of league play with Bayern and it's never a good idea to come back from a muscle injury too soon.

Working away from squad Goretzka is working up his fitness and is not training with the team Friday, reports Sportschau.

Impact Goretzka last appeared May 8 with Bayern Munich and is considered a late-fitness test for the June 15 Euro opener for Germany. Even if healthy, his lack of fitness could see him on the bench, though with 10 days until the first match, he could be ready to start if training goes well.

Could join German training camp soon Goretzka (thigh) is scheduled to join the German national team Tuesday, reports the AP.

Impact Goretzka tore a thigh muscle a few weeks ago and will likely need at least a week of training before he's fully healthy and fit. It's unlikely he takes part in either friendly ahead of the Euros, but if all goes well, he could be ready for Germany's opener in a little more than 10 days.
