Bastian Schweinsteiger fit to lead Germany

Bastian Schweinsteiger will lead Germany onto the field for tonight’s Euro 2016 semi-final against France after being passed fit to play.

The Manchester United midfielder was a doubt due to a niggling injury he aggravated in the penalty shoot-out win over Italy in the quarter-finals, but Germany coach Joachim Low confirmed at a press conference yesterday that he is fit and will start.

“I have the team in my head and Bastian Schweinsteiger will definitely start,” Low said in Marseille.
