由於對爭奪第三名的比賽興趣不大，小腿肌肉略有損傷的德國射手克洛澤可能會缺席與葡萄牙隊的比賽，這意味著他本屆賽事的進球數很可能會定格在5個。

原文 World-Injury threatens Klose award hopes
By Kevin Fylan
BERLIN, July 6 (Reuters) - Miroslav Klose's hopes of clinching the award for top goalscorer at the World Cup in Saturday's third place match could be hit by injury.
Klose has scored five times for beaten semi-finalists Germany, giving him a two-goal lead over team mate Lukas Podolski and France's Thierry Henry, who will play in Sunday's final.
A goal in Germany's game against Portugal in Stuttgart would make all but certain of the golden shoe award for Klose but the 28-year-old said on Thursday he was a doubt for the match.
"I have pain in the calf muscle," Klose said at a news conference on Thursday. "We'll have to see how it is on match day.
"I do want to play but if it makes no sense I'll sit the game out."
Germany defender Per Mertesacker will definitely miss the match. He will undergo surgery on his injured foot this week, the German Football Association said.
