Bayern Munich goalkeeper Manuel Neuer has returned to training with the Germany squad.

Neuer hurt his right shoulder in Bayern Munich's 2-0 DFB Pokal final win over Borussia Dortmund on May 17.

Team manager Oliver Bierhoff said on Wednesday that Germany would be taking a cautious approach to his reintroduction, but it was confirmed by Bayern a day later that he had recommenced preparations for the FIFA World Cup finals.

The 28-year-old took part in a running session with his team-mates, but is not likely to be in contention for Sunday's friendly against Cameroon.
