Leroy Sane withdraws from Germany squad for 'personal reasons'
- September 09, 2018
Regardless of the reason for Sane's departure, it is another chapter in a tumultuous time with the national team for the ex-Schalke star, who is yet to start a Premier League game this season.

Serena to play fan girl Osaka in US Open final
- September 08, 2018
