Germany's Guendogan ruled out of Euro 2016 with knee injury

Germany midfielder Ilkay Guendogan has been ruled out of Euro 2016 after sustaining a serious knee injury in training with Borussia Dortmund, the club said on Friday.

The 25-year-old, who also missed the 2014 World Cup through injury and has been linked with a move to the English Premier League next season, injured his knee cap in training on Friday.

"Season end and Euro out. Guendogan dislocated his knee cap in training," Dortmund said on Twitter.

"Get well soon."

Dortmund are five points behind leaders Bayern Munich with two matches left to play in the Bundesliga and have an outside chance at the title.

They also face the Bavarians in the season-ending German Cup final on May 21 in Berlin.
