FRANKFURT (Reuters) - Winger Lukas Podolski is doubtful for Germany's Euro 2016 qualifiers against Ireland and Georgia over the next few days after picking up an ankle injury.

Fellow midfielder Karim Bellarabi is also being treated for a shoulder injury but could still be fit in time for Thursday's Group D game in Dublin that could secure Germany a spot in next year's tournament. Germany then host Georgia in Leipzig on Sunday.
