Bastian Schweinsteiger claims to have 0.0 per cent doubts about his participation at Euro 2016.
The Germany captain has endured an injury-hit first campaign at Manchester United and is currently sidelined with a knee injury sustained against Sheffield United at the beginning of January.
Former Germany skipper Lothar Matthaus questioned Schweinsteiger s place in the squad in his Bild column on Thursday, stating coach Joachim Low should not take him on previous achievements , but the 31-year-old is adamant he will be fit and raring to go when the tournament kicks-off on June 10.
If they don t change plans and switch the Euros to the beginning of March then everything looks fine. I have 0.0 per cent doubts [about playing], Schweinsteiger told Bild.
A ruptured ligament needs time but everything is healing perfectly. I know my body well, everything will be fine.
In about five days I can start running again and five days later I should be able to train with the ball. I will be fully fit in March, I think.
Former Germany and Bayern Munich team-mate Oliver Kahn has also raised his concerns about whether Schweinsteiger is still good enough to earn a place in Low s star-studded squad.
But Schweinsteiger has no doubts, adding: I have played in 27 competitive fixtures this season, despite my ban and my injury. There are a lot of things that can be better but this claim is very far-fetched.
