Germany midfielder Bastian Schweinsteiger is fit to face Wales for Wednesday’s World Cup qualifier at Cardiff’s Millennium Stadium, despite picking up a groin strain last weekend.
Bayern Munich’s Schweinsteiger scored Germany’s third goal in the 4-0 win over minnows Liechtenstein in Leipzig on Saturday, but missed Monday’s training session as a precautionary measure to help his groin recover.
“Bastian has a slight groin strain, but there is no danger of him missing the Wales game,” said Germany team manager Oliver Bierhoff.
“The fact he missed training was just a precautionary measure, he just needs another half day of rest.”
And Hamburg winger Piotr Trochowski, who scored the winner against the Welsh in Germany’s 1-0 World Cup qualifier win last October, is fit for selection having missed the Liechtenstein win with a knee injury.
