BERLIN: Borussia Dortmund’s Germany striker Marco Reus has been ruled out of Friday’s Euro 2016 qualifier against Gibraltar and the friendly away to Spain because of an ankle injury.

Dortmund’s team doctor revealed that Reus suffered ligament damage and bruising to his left ankle during Sunday’s 1-0 Bundesliga win over Moenchengladbach.

It is the second injury blow for Germany head coach Joachim Loew following that of Chelsea winger Andre Schuerrle.

Reus is expected to be back in action in two weeks.

The Germans’ Euro 2016 qualifier against Gibraltar is in in Nuremburg on Friday before a prestigious friendly against Spain four days later in Vigo.
