Christopher Devine 08 June, 2016 03:04 IST Antonio Rudiger receives treatment after injuring himself during a training session Christopher Devine 08 June, 2016 03:04 IST Germany defender Antonio Rudiger has been ruled out of Euro 2016 with a torn anterior cruciate ligament, the German Football Association has confirmed. Rudiger had appeared set to feature in Germany's opening Group C game against Ukraine on Sunday, with Mats Hummels still recovering from a calf problem. However, the world champion will now be forced into calling up a replacement player after Rudiger was severely injured in his country's first training session following its arrival in France on Tuesday. Rudiger collapsed to the ground in clear discomfort after making a tackle, with his team-mates quick to call for medical assistance. The German Football Association (DFB) subsequently tweeted: "Bad news: @ToniRuediger is ruled out of #EURO2016 after rupturing his ACL in training. Get well soon, Antonio!" News of Rudiger's injury also comes as a major blow to Roma, which only last week exercised the option to sign the 23-year-old on a permanent basis from Stuttgart following a successful loan spell. Rudiger played in 37 matches across all competitions for Roma in the 2015-16 season, helping it to a third-placed finish in Serie A. However, he now looks set to miss a significant chunk of next season, in addition to suffering the misery of being denied a first appearance at a major international tournament.
