Kevin GrosskreutzBorussia Dortmund star Kevin Grosskreutz is unlikely to pay the ultimate price for his latest incident as he is expected to be named in Germany’s final World Cup squad.

The talented footballer was heavily criticized after urinating in a hotel lobby following the DFB Pokal defeat to Bayern Munich, but it looks as though it will not cost him his place in the side.

Die Mannschaft general manager Oliver Bierhoff has hinted that Grosskreutz will not be severely punished for the incident.

“Let’s not forget these are young lads and Kevin is very emotional,” Bierhoff said to Sport1. “He’s a very passionate person and there was a lot of frustration after the final.

“Things like this can happen and these are the kind of people you want.”

The fact Kevin Grosskreutz can cover a number of positions in defence and midfield makes him a very good option for the final squad and everything suggests he will be on the plane to Brazil.

With several star players carrying knocks, boss Joachim Low cannot really afford to lose more important footballers, especially since Germany were placed in a pretty difficult group.

Nevertheless, die Mannschaft are available at 1.57 (4/7) with Betfair to win Group G ahead of Portugal, Ghana and United States.
