Low unconcerned by Schweinsteiger struggles

Germany coach Joachim Low sees no reason to worry about Bastian Schweinsteiger's fitness following the Manchester United midfielder's recent injury problems.

The 31-year-old spent two months on the sidelines between January and March due to a knee injury picked up against Sheffield United in the FA Cup.

"Bastian has recently returned to the pitch again," Low told SID.

"Of course, he still has some room for improvement physically as he is not 100 per cent just yet, but that is only logical. There is still plenty of time until Euro 2016.

"And he hardly completed a full session with the team during the 2014 World Cup either. He was there when it mattered most, though. He knows his body really well and know what he has to do.

"He remains hugely ambitious and wants to keep performing at the highest level."

"There is no agreement with Schweinsteiger that Euro 2016 will be his last tournament for Germany," Low added.

"We don't discuss things like that before a tournament. It is not an issue at this point."
