Schweinsteiger to miss World Cup?

Schweinsteiger lucky to make World Cup squad

17 May 2014 - 06:55

Bayern Munich central midfielder Bastian Schweinsteiger could well miss out on a place in Germany's World Cup squad and is set to sit out the Bavarian side's DFB Pokal final versus fierce rivals Borussia Dortmund.

  • Chelsea ready new contract for star midfielder
  • Chelsea make first move to sign Xabi Alonso
  • 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."
