Injury may rule German Khedira out of World Cup


BERLIN (Reuters) - Germany and Real Madrid midfielder Sami Khedira's World Cup hopes hang in the balance after he was ruled out for around six months with torn cruciate ligaments suffered in Friday's 1-1 draw with Italy.

"He will need to be operated on but we are hopeful he could be fit in time for the World Cup (in June)," said national team doctor Hans-Wilhelm Mueller-Wohlfahrt in a statement.
