Joachim Low has spoken of his fear that his all-conquering German side will experience burn-out as they seek to add the European Championships to the World Cup they lifted in Brazil back in July. Jerome Boatang, Mats Hummels and Sami Khedira will sit out their country’s clash with Argentina in Dusseldorf on Wednesday evening – although only the latter remains a doubt for the Euro 2016 curtain-raiser with Scotland in Dortmund on Sunday. Just 52 days after watching Philipp Lahm lift the game’s biggest prize in Rio, Low is deeply concerned that a lack of proper rest for his star performers coupled with the demands of elite club football will adversely affect their chances of a smooth qualification passage.
