Bayern Munich's Mario Gotze to miss German Cup final with broken rib

BERLIN -- Bayern Munich forward Mario Gotze has a broken rib and will miss the German Cup final against Borussia Dortmund on Saturday.

Bayern said Gotze was injured in the final Bundesliga match against Hannover a week ago, when he scored two goals.

Bayern did not disclose the injury until Friday. Gotze traveled with the club to Berlin for the final but was ruled out of the match before Friday's final practice.

Bayern said Gotze has to rest for up to 14 days but that his participation at the European Championship in France should not be under threat.

Gotze scored the extra-time goal that gave Germany the World Cup over Argentina two years ago in Brazil.

Germany start their training camp on Tuesday in Switzerland.
