less than a week before he names his provisional Euro 2016 squad, Germany’s head coach Joachim loew has been given a boost by three of his stars.
loew will name his squad at the French Embassy in Berlin next Monday, but has been given good news about injured pair Bastian Schweinsteiger, Germany’s captain, and Sami Khedira, while striker Mario Gomez is in top form.
German magazine Kicker reports Manchester United’s Schweinsteiger is on the road to recovery after tearing the medial ligament in his right knee in March and should return to running training in the next ten days.
Schweinsteiger’s fellow defensive midfielder Khedira is recovering from a calf strain and recently visited the German team doctor in Munich to get the all clear.
And Gomez has proven he is in goal-scoring form having scored 25 times this season to become the Turkish league’s top scorer while on loan from Fiorentina at Besiktas to help them win their first Super lig title since 2009.
