Bayer Leverkusen defender Jonathan Tah has been named as Antonio Rudiger's replacement in Germany's squad for Euro 2016.

Rudiger tore a cruciate ligament in his right knee in training on Tuesday following a tussle with Thomas Muller and is expected to be out for around six months.

Tah's only appearance for his national side came in March in the 3-2 friendly defeat to England at the Olympiastadion in Berlin.
