According to Bild, Nico Schlotterbeck twisted his right ankle during training and will miss two upcoming international matches against Serbia and Greece. Jürgen Klopp and his coaching staff initially thought he was joking.

Schlotterbeck was injured during the final training session before the match against Serbia. At the time of the incident, the German national team was warming up at the Herzogenaurach training center. The players were participating in a cone-weaving passing drill in a relaxed atmosphere, with four teams competing to win. Teammates were joking with each other, cheering each other on, and watching for fouls from opponents. Players had to dribble through obstacles in different ways and quickly pass the ball to teammates.

Schlotterbeck tripped over an obstacle in the final round of the drill, and the ball rolled down an adjacent pathway. Others made jokes and laughed at him, and even as he fell, tumbled, and lay on the ground, he continued to hear laughter. Bild reported that German national team coach Jürgen Klopp and his coaching staff initially thought Schlotterbeck was just joking around. The team had games and light-hearted moments throughout the week, such as when Klopp and the players had to say certain words during press conferences.

After Schlotterbeck fell, at first almost no one went to check on him. Finn-Ole Becker, standing next to him, was still laughing and slapping his leg. Klopp walked over slowly. Shortly after, everyone realized the situation was not a joke.

Schlotterbeck twisted his right ankle while rushing to get the ball, and at the moment it happened, hardly anyone saw it clearly. Team doctor Jochen Hänig examined him on the field for several minutes. Schlotterbeck then left the training facility disappointed. Klopp later stated: "Nico twisted his ankle himself, with no impact from an opponent or teammate. This is simply bad luck. I hope he won't have to miss too much time."
