Germany's captain and goalkeeper Manuel Neuer is "on schedule" to be fit for the World Cup in June, according to Germany's head coach Joachim Loew. Last September, Neuer, 31, fractured his left foot for the third time in 2017, but is now off crutches and working his way back to fitness. His club Bayern Munich has given no date as to when Neuer will return to action, but Loew says everything is going to plan.
