Bernd Leno hopes Manuel Neuer recovers in time to lead Germany at the World Cup, even if it means he misses out a place in the squad.
But Bayer Leverkusen goalkeeper Leno has avoided booking a holiday in the hope he is included in Joachim Low's plans for Russia.
With Neuer recovering from a foot injury that has kept him out for most of the season, Leno is one of three keepers in the Germany squad for international friendlies against Spain and Brazil.
Barcelona's Marc-Andre ter Stegen is likely to fill in if Neuer is ruled out, with Paris Saint-Germain's Kevin Trapp another option, but Leno is ready to answer Low's call if he is required at the World Cup.
