BERLIN - Hanover 96 goalkeeper Ron-Robert
Zieler won a Germany call-up on Friday as third choice for an
upcoming Euro 2012 qualifier, replacing injured Rene Adler, the
team said.
The 22-year-old, who was formerly under contract with
Manchester United, will be part of the Germany squad for the
qualifier against Austria on September 2 and a friendly against Euro
2012 joint hosts Poland on September 6 after Bayer Leverkusen's
Adler was sidelined following surgery.
"He is a young keeper who has been playing in the Bundesliga
since early 2011 and he has been very good ever since,"
Germany's goalkeeping coach Andreas Koepke said on the
federation website.
"He has played a decisive role in helping Hanover win a
Europa League qualification spot."
Germany lead their qualifying Group A with 21 points after
winning all seven of their matches. Team coach Joachim Low will
name his full squad next week.
