Germany Coach Joachim Low Hopeful Manuel Neuer Will Be Fit for the World Cup

Germany manager Joachim Low believes his first-choice goalkeeper, Bayern Munich's Manuel Neuer, will recover from injury in time to play in the World Cup this summer, per Joe Strange for MailOnline.

Neuer has not played any football since his foot surgery in September but is nearing a return to first-team action, declaring recently he is "pretty confident" of playing this season, per Sky Sport Bundesliga (via bundesliga.com).

But the goalkeeper is not in the Germany squad for the upcoming friendlies against Spain and Brazil, and he is still attempting to regain fitness.
