Schweinsteiger: I will return in time for World Cup
BASTIAN SCHWEINSTEIGER has promised Germany fans he will be back from injury in time for the World Cup in Brazil.
The Bayern Munich midfielder had two operations on his ankle in the summer and is yet to train Bayern Munich since his last appearance on the 5th November.
Schweinsteiger has been one of Germany's key players and has featured over 100 times for his nation.
Schweinsteiger said: "I have not had a moment's concern about missing the World Cup.
Beyern are in unstoppable form in the Bundesliga and are one of the favourites to retain their Champions League title this season.
The German is clearly keen to get back involved.
He said: "It's annoying that I can't play, but I have to look after my body. It's not the first time [I've been injured].
"Light jogging is possible now, but no ball work. It'll take a while yet, but I am working harder in training than when I was fit."
