Germany forward Timo Werner is out of the World Cup in Qatar after suffering an ankle injury that will keep him out until 2023.

The 26-year-old was withdrawn after 19 minutes of RB Leipzig's 4-0 Champions League win over Shakhtar Donetsk yesterday.

The former Chelsea striker, who has returned to form this term, has scored 24 goals in 55 appearances for Germany.

Werner was part of the German squad at the 2018 World Cup and Euro 2020.

Germany's first World Cup match is against Japan on 23 November.
