Germany must again do without winger Marco Reus for their key Euro 2016 qualifier against Group D leaders Poland on Friday after the Borussia Dortmund star suffered a toe injury.

As well as the Poland clash in Frankfurt, the 26-year-old will also miss Monday's qualifier against Scotland in Glasgow as the Dortmund star's bad luck with Germany continues.

Reus missed Germany's 2014 World Cup triumph after tearing an ankle ligament in the final warm-up match in June, just before the team flew to Brazil and then suffered two more ankle injuries in September and then November last season.

He has been available for selection for just four of Germany's last 10 internationals.

Second-placed Germany are looking to avenge their 2-0 defeat in Warsaw last October in a Euro 2016 qualifier with Poland top of the group by a point.
