<p>Speaking to reporters, the German coach said, "We missed Lamine today, which is normal, I don’t know if he will be back straight after the international break. I think the doctors will ask for Lamine not to play for the national team. We will speak to the RFEF. He would have if he could’ve played tonight, but there was no other option. I hope the right thing will be done."</p>
