Germany's injury woes have intensified after Cacau became the latest player to be ruled out of the World Cup second-round clash with England on Sunday.

The Stuttgart striker, who started the 1-0 victory against Ghana, will miss the Bloemfontein contest after pulling a stomach muscle in training.

There are also doubts over the fitness of key duo Bastian Schweinsteiger and Jerome Boateng, who will both face fitness tests on Saturday.
