Germany warm up win late win

FREIBURG, JUNE 8: A late Ulf Kirsten hat-trick helped Germany forget an embarrassing first half and beat Liechtenstein 8-2 in the European Champions’ final test before they begin the defence of their title.

“Lothar will only play if he’s 100 per cent fit,” said Ribbeck who made a total 10 substitutions. “We have to wait and see what the doctors say.”

Matthaeus said he thought the injury was was not too serious.

“It’s not the muscle I’d hurt, it’s another one,” said the 39-year-old who will end his international career after Euro 2000. “I don’t think it’s torn but you have to be careful with those things.”
