Frings rules out Germany role
Torsten Frings would not return to the German national side even if coach Joachim Low were to call him up as a replacement for the injured Michael Ballack.
Frings was informed by Low in January that he would no longer be considered for selection and - despite ending last season with some impressive performances for Werder Bremen - Frings was not included in Low's preliminary 27-man World Cup squad.
He told the Bild newspaper: "I simply don't have any faith in the national team coach anymore. That has not changed after the tragic injury to Michael Ballack either. Therefore, whatever happens, I am not available."
