Germany and Hannover 96 goalkeeper Robert Enke has died after being hit by a train.



The German Football Federation says the German team has learned of the death of Robert Enke with great shock.



The 32-year-old Enke played eight times for Germany and also for clubs Benfica, Barcelona and Borussia Moenchengladbach.



He made his international debut aged 31 and became Germany\'s number one keeper after Jens Lehmann retired from internationals at the end of Euro 2008.
