Schweinsteiger is suffering with an inflammation of his patella tendon and has now been given an individual training programme.

The German's pre-World Cup training camp will be starting on the 21st and Schweinsteiger may not be a part of that group of players.

When asked if the player would make this summer's showpiece tournament, manager Pep Guardiola told reporters: "I don't know, I'm not a doctor."
