Birthday boy Reus misses Germany meet-up with illness
Borussia Dortmund captain Marco Reus missed meeting up with the Germany squad Tuesday due to illness, four days before their Nations League game against European champions Italy in Bologna. Reus, who turned 33 on Tuesday, did not travel to the Germany team base in Herzogenaurach, Bavaria, as he has "signs of an infection", the German FA (DFB) said in a statement.
