Sami Khedira (born 4 April 1987) is a German footballer currently playing for Real Madrid and the German national team. Khedira moved to Real Madrid from VfB Stuttgart in 2010. He is considered a dynamic midfielder with "flawless aerial ability" who can cover a lot of ground, recover the ball and quickly join in the team attack with his powerful mid-range shooting.

Khedira tore his ACL in his right knee in a friendly match against Italy on 15 November 2013 and will be out for around six months, which will make his participation at the 2014 FIFA World Cup questionable.
