Fantastic news for Werder Bremen keeper Tim Wiese! German national team coach Joachim Löw has called the 27 year old into his squad for their first game since the European Championships final. The friendly against Belgium will take place on Wednesday, 21.08.2008 in Nuremberg (kick-off 9pm). The goal keeper will join up with his club-mates Torsten Frings and Clemens Fritz in the German selection whilst Per Mertesacker will miss out on this occasion as he continues rehabilitation after a meniscus operation.

 

Wiese was nominated to replace René Adler, who suffered a shoulder injury in training with Bayer 04 Leverkusen: “After René was forced to pull out of the game through injury, we decided to offer Tim Wiese the chance of being involved at the international in Nuremberg. He has performed well in recent years both in the Bundesliga and in the Champions League. He has earned his nomination,” explained national team goalkeeping coach Andreas Köpke.

 

The friendly game against Belgium is the only test the German side will have before they begin with their 2010 World Cup qualifiers on 06.09.2008 in Lichtenstein. Frings, Fritz and Co. will play their second Group 4 game against Finland on 10.09.2008.
