Ailing Goetze going nowhere fast

BERLIN - Mario Goetze had the nation at his feet when Germany's hero netted the winner in the 2014 World Cup final.

Fast-forward nearly three years and Monday's news that the Borussia Dortmund star is sidelined indefinitely with a metabolism disorder is the latest blow for the 24-year-old since his Brazil heroics.

"I am in the process of getting treatment and I will do everything I can to get back into training as quickly as possible," Goetze told the club website on Monday.
