FRANKFURT — Germany coach Joachim Loew has kicked Max Kruse off his squad following two recent off-field incidents, putting the Wolfsburg forward in doubt for the European Championship.
Kruse lost a large amount of cash in a Berlin taxi in October and was then was involved in an incident in a Berlin club while celebrating his 28th birthday on Saturday. He was already in hot water with Wolfsburg because of a bizarre Nutella addiction.
In a statement from the German football federation, Loew said that Kruse had repeatedly acted unprofessionally.
“I already told him clearly last week what I expect of him, on and off the field,” Loew said. “I want players who are focused on football and the European Championship, also between matches.
