Boateng plays down injury concerns ahead of Euro 2016 opener

There was concern for Germany as Jerome Boateng required treatment for an injury on Saturday, but he insists he will be fine for Euro 2016.

Jerome Boateng calmed fears he picked up an injury in Germany's final warm-up friendly ahead of Euro 2016.

Joachim Low's world champion side defeated Hungary 2-0 in Gelsenkirchen on Saturday, although there was a moment of concern early in the first half when Boateng came over to the touchline for treatment.

With fellow center back Mats Hummels a doubt for the upcoming tournament with a calf problem, the sight of Boateng laying on the ground being tended to by the physios was not a welcome one for Germany fans.
