Schweinsteiger suffers knee injury with Germany
Germany have confirmed that Bastian Schweinsteiger has suffered a knee injury in training.
Bastian Schweinsteiger is a major doubt for Germany's matches against England and Italy after picking up a knee injury in training.
The Germany captain has only recently returned to the pitch after spending two months out for Manchester United between January and March with a knee problem picked up against Sheffield United in the FA Cup.
Head coach Joachim Low had stressed his confidence that the worst of Schweinsteiger's fitness woes were behind him, but the 31-year-old suffered an issue at the end of training on Tuesday.
Schweinsteiger left the Germany camp on Wednesday to go for an MRI scan with specialist Dr Hans-Wilhelm Muller-Wohlfahrt in Munich, where the level of damage will be assessed.
