Julian Draxler hasn't joined up with Germany squad for upcoming Euro qualifiers

Germany attacking midfielder Julian Draxler is doubtful for the Euro 2016 qualifiers against Poland and Ireland after suffering from flu and failing to join up with the squad on Tuesday.
              
Germany host Ireland in Gelsenkirchen next Tuesday in qualifying Group D, after first travelling to Warsaw to face Poland on Saturday.
              
The 21-year-old Draxler was a member of this year's World Cup-winning squad and Germany kicked off their Euro qualifying campaign with a 2-1 win over Scotland last month.
              
"Whether Julian will be called up at a later date will be decided in the coming days and after consultation with the medical and sports departments," the team said in a statement.
              
"So it is still open if he will take part against Poland and against Ireland on Tuesday."
