BERLIN: Borussia Dortmund midfielder Marco Reus was dropped from Germany's European Championship squad on Tuesday, and captain Bastian Schweinsteiger made the final cut despite injury.

Reus, who had been struggling at the team's training camp in Ascona, Switzerland, was omitted from the final list of 23 players, along with Hoffenheim defender Sebastian Rudy and Bayer Leverkusen players Julian Brandt and Karim Bellarabi.

"The doctors could not give a clear prognosis," Germany coach Joachim Loew said of Reus. "He has huge health problems and can only walk straight at the moment. More wasn't possible in training so far."

Schweinsteiger was picked despite not playing since a partial ligament tear in national team training on March 22, his second knee injury of the year, while Mats Hummels, who has a calf injury, also made the cut.

"The prognosis on Bastian Schweinsteiger and Mats Hummels is clear from our medical department that they will be available for the tournament," Loew said. "Schweinsteiger, fully fit, will start training with the team this afternoon. Hummels will need a little longer. According to the doctors they'll both be available."

Germany plays Hungary in Gelsenkirchen for its last warm-up game on Saturday, before leaving for its tournament base in Evian-les-Bains on June 7. The tournament starts June 10 and Germany plays its first game against Ukraine in Lille on June 12.
