Joachim Low's Germany side will need to make do without Marco Reus for Tuesday's World Cup qualifier against Faroe Islands.

The 24-year-old forward started Friday's 3-0 win over Austria, assisting Toni Kroos' goal at the Allianz Arena, before making way for Julian Draxler before the finish.

However, he has since been diagnosed with a bout of gastroenteritis and will return to Dortmund for treatment.

A statement from the German FA read: "Marco Reus will not fly with the German national team to the Faroe Islands.

"The 24-year-old is suffering from a gastrointestinal infection."

Germany remains unbeaten in Group C having won six and drawn one of its seven matches, and can qualify for Brazil 2014 with a win in Torshavn, if Sweden fails to beat Kazakhstan in Astana.

In contrast, Lars Olsen's Faroe Islands side has lost all seven of its qualifiers.
