The German national team will have to do without Nathaniel Brown in their final World Cup Group E match against Ecuador.
Sky Germany and others have reported that Brown was unable to participate in the final training session on Wednesday morning.
Sport1 believe the 23-year-old is suffering from minor problems in the adductor area and will likely be rested as a precautionary measure.
Nagelsmann held the final session before departing for New York/New Jersey for the clash with the South American country.
Instead, Brown completed a light running session with the four-time World Cup champions' athletic coach Krunoslav Banovcic.
Fears over the left-back's fitness are not on a similar scale to Nico Schlotterbeck who had his tournament ended through injury.
Germany also have a reliable backup in the defensive position, with RB Leipzig's David Raum iready to step in for Brown.
