BERLIN (Reuters) - Germany's first-choice keeper Marc Andre ter Stegen has been ruled out of their friendly internationals against Turkey and Austria with a back injury, coach Julian Nagelsmann said on Friday.

Barcelona's Ter Stegen, who has been the Germany's keeper since Manuel Neuer broke his leg a year ago will return to Spain.
