Manuel Neuer has not played since September but Bayern Munich coach Jupp Heynckes believes the goalkeeper can be ready to go to the World Cup with Germany.
Neuer is still recovering from a foot injury that has left him unable to add to the three Bundesliga appearances he recorded at the start of the season.
Deputy Sven Ulreich has excelled in Neuer's absence, barring a costly error against Real Madrid in the Champions League semi-finals, with other options available to Germany coach Joachim Low including Barcelona number one Marc-Andre ter Stegen.
