Munich prosecutors are considering whether to appeal the verdict against Germany defender Jerome Boateng, who was fined 1.8 million euros ($2 million) after being found guilty of assault.

Germany's 2014 World Cup winner Jerome Boateng was on Thursday fined 1.8 million euros ($2 million) by a court in Munich after being found guilty of assaulting his former partner three years ago.

Jerome Boateng is expected to appear in court in Munich on Thursday to answer accusations he assaulted the mother of his twin daughters in 2018.

With the rebuilding process not going as planned, Joachim Loew suggested Sunday that players like Thomas Mueller, Jerome Boateng and Mats Hummels could be useful short-term solutions for Euro 2020.

Thomas Mueller's absence would be a huge blow to Bayern Munich's Club World Cup campaign, with Jerome Boateng having returned home to Germany for personal reasons.

Jerome Boateng, 31, has been charged with assault after allegedly attacking his former partner, German prosecutors confirmed Tuesday.

Joachim Loew told the Bayern Munich trio before he names the squad for the friendly against Serbia and the Euro 2020 qualifier.

Jerome Boateng was one of the few German players to speak up for Ozil after his retirement.

Bayern Munich centre-back Jerome Boateng could join Paris Saint-Germain providing the price is right, the German giants' chairman Karl-Heinz Rummenigge suggested.

Now Germany has three points in Group F alongside Sweden behind front-running Mexico on six, even as the people who saw it play Sweden will carry home memories soccer fans so seldom have.
