Bad luck has hit many players ahead of the 2014 FIFA World Cup. Borussia Dortmund and Germany star Marco Reus is the latest star to suffer a nasty injury.

He was challenging for the ball against Armenian midfielder Artur Yedigaryan when he twisted his ankle. Medics immediately stormed the pitch to carry him out. The Germans finished the game well on top of their opponents as Mario Goetze’s brace completed a 6-1 victory.

However, anxiety now reigns as Marco Reus’ participation in Brazil 2014 is hugely in doubt. Coach Joachim Low sounded hopeless while addressing the press right after the friendly. He was quoted as saying:

“We can only hope that he will be OK. But it looked bad. We can call up another player until 24 hours before the first game.”

Fresh transfer reports have linked Reus with a move to Barcelona. Meanwhile, the 25-year-old midfielder is respected across the world of football for his loyalty at Borussia Dortmund, despite the departure of close friends Robert Lewandowski and Mario Goetze to Bayern Munich. 

On social media, #Reuspect is even an existing hashtag, currently trending as fans wish him a speedy recovery. Germany will face Portugal in their opening World Cup 2014 fixture on June 16.
