Cup final is uncertain as he deals with a knee injury.
Hummels came off at halftime of Germany's 7-1
semifinal victory against Brazil on Tuesday, with Die
Mannschaft already comfortably ahead 5-0.
The centre-back said the problem was not major, but it
may be able to keep him out of Sunday's final, when
Germany will face the winners of Argentina and the
Netherlands.
Hummels hurt his left knee in Germany's opening match
against Portugal but returned for the next game.
He also sat out their round of 16 match against Algeria
with the flu, but then scored the only goal in their
quarterfinal win over France.
"More problems with my knee," Hummels told German
radio ARD. "We will find out the exact diagnosis [on
Wednesday].
"There won't be a horror diagnosis and there is hope
that it works again in five days. I will definitely need
intensive treatment.
"If I can't train on Saturday I wouldn't go and say I can
play on Sunday."
Hummels helped set up Germany's fifth goal on Tuesday
with a dashing run through the midfield.
