Christoph Kramer's late dream call-up to the Germany team for the World Cup final with Argentina ended after just half an hour with him being helped off in a daze.
The 23-year-old midfielder -- who replaced Sami Khedira when the Real Madrid star injured a calf muscle in the warm-up at the Maracana stadium -- received medical attention after Ezequiel Garay's shoulder connected with his jaw in the 17th minute.
Kramer played on but after 13 minutes coach Joachim Loew took the decision to send on Andre Schuerrle for the Borussia Moenchengladbach player on the half hour who had to be helped off the pitch barely knowing which city he was in.
