Schweinsteiger fit to face Azzurri, says confident Löw

Germany coach Joachim Löw has revealed Bastian Schweinsteiger is fully fit and ready to start tonight’s Euro 2012 semi-final against Italy.

The midfielder has been struggling with an ankle problem and Löw admitted he was “poor” in the 4-2 quarter-final victory over Greece.

But the Bayern Munich player was able to play a full part in training yesterday and is set to retain his place.
