Germany midfielder Aleksandar Pavlovic again missed training due to an infection on Wednesday, leading the official squad photograph to be postponed.

The hosts open Euro 2024 in Munich against Scotland on Friday and the 20-year-old Pavlovic looks unlikely to feature given he has yet to arrive at Germany's base in Bavaria. He was not set to start in any case.

All other players were able to train. Number 10s Jamal Musiala and Florian Wirtz are later in a press conference. The photograph is now pencilled in for Thursday if Pavlovic arrives.

UEFA also announced on Wednesday that the Scotland game would be refereed by Frenchman Clément Turpin, 42.
