Schalke forward Mark Uth has been ruled out of Germany's games against Russia and Holland.

Uth, who made his Germany debut in the 3-0 loss to Holland in Amsterdam last month, suffered a hamstring and tendon injury in his left leg in Schalke's 3-0 Bundesliga defeat to Eintracht Frankfurt on Sunday.
Germany coach Joachim Low does not intend to call up any replacements.
'It's not planned at the moment. We have 20 outfield players and three goalkeepers. That's enough for the moment,' Low said after the team arrived in Leipzig on Monday.
