Borussia Dortmund have confirmed Mario Götze will miss the Champions League final against Bayern Munich at Wembley on Saturday.

The 20-year-old attacking midfielder has lost his battle to be fit for what would have been his last game for Dortmund ahead of his £31.5m move to Bayern.

Götze, who suffered a hamstring injury in the semi-final second leg against Real Madrid, said in a statement: "I have huge belief in our team and will naturally travel."
