Man Utd midfielder Schweinsteiger: I'll be fit for Euros

Manchester United midfielder Bastian Schweinsteiger expects to be fit for the Euros.

The Germany captain is fighting fit and looks set to play at Euro 2016 as he recovers from the knee problem that forced him to miss United's last 11 games.

"I am fine and I am right on schedule," he said. "I live for that schedule hour after hour.

"Ahead of the World Cup 2014, the situation was worse. I will be ready. Of course injuries are always a setback. But I don't know the phrase 'to give up'." Coach Joachim Low added: "Physically, he is doing everything he can. Sometimes he is training three times per day."
