SOCHI, Russia (Reuters) - Germany central defender Mats Hummels is unlikely to feature in their second World Cup Group F game against Sweden on Saturday after hurting his neck in training, Germany coach Joachim Low said.

The world champions, who suffered a shock opening loss to Mexico, must avoid another defeat which could see them crash out at a World Cup group stage for the first time in 80 years.
