Dortmund`s Woerns nominated for Germany`s friendly with Iran

IRNA - Borussia Dortmund defender Christian Woerns replaced Werder Bremen`s Frank Fahrenhorst on the German national team roster for the October 9 friendly with Iran, the media reported Monday.

The 33-year-old Woerns will join Hannover 96 defender Per Mertesacker, 20, who is expected to make his debut for the German national squad on Saturday.
German headcoach Juergen Klinsmann will miss several key players for the Iran friendly, among them VfB Stuttgart striker Kevin Kuranyi, Bayer Leverkusen defender Jens Nowotny, Werder Bremen midfielder Frank Baumann and Hertha Berlin defender Arne Friedrich.
The German team is to begin its training camp on Tuesday in Munich.
The triple World Cup title holders will then depart Thursday for Iran.
The German national squad will stay at Tehran`s Esteghlal Hotel where they will have the final preparations for Saturday`s match at Azadi Stadium.
