It is definitely a blow for the German national team and their head coach Hansi Flick. The Germans were supposed to play two matches in this international break. One is a home match against Liechtenstein on November 12 at the Volkswagen Arena, the home stadium of Bundesliga outfit Wolfsburg. The second World Cup qualifier game is an away trip to Armenia two days later.
