Summary Reus was rushed to hospital after twisting his left ankle just before the half-time break in Mainz.
MAINZ (AFP) - Germany winger Marco Reus is set to miss the World Cup after suffering a partially torn ankle ligament in Friday s 6-1 friendly win over Armenia.
The 25-year-old was rushed to hospital after twisting his left ankle just before the half-time break in Mainz and a scan revealed the extent of the injury.
The German Football Association (DFB) have said a decision will be made as to whether the Borussia Dortmund star flies to Brazil with the squad, who leave at 22:00 local time from Frankfurt for their camp at Porto Seguro on Saturday.
With seven goals in 21 appearances for Germany, Reus withdrawal would be a bitter blow for the Dortmund winger.
He has been in good form this season and is central to head coach Joachim Loew s brand of attacking football.
"Marco has been in great form and a bad injury would be very bitter," said Germany captain Philipp Lahm before the diagnosis.
Germany open their Group G campaign against Portugal in Salvador on June 16 and also face Ghana and the USA in the first round.
