Gotze ruled out of decider

Borussia Dortmund last night confirmed Mario Gotze will miss the Champions League final against Bayern Munich at Wembley on Saturday.

The 20-year-old attacking midfielder has lost his battle to be fit for what would have been his last game for the club ahead of his €37 million summer move to Bayern.

Gotze suffered a hamstring injury in the semi-final second-leg against Real Madrid and suffered a setback in his recovery when he had to cut short his first training session back with the team yesterday afternoon.
