Manchester United midfielder Bastian Schweinsteiger has been included in Germany’s preliminary 27-man squad for Euro 2016 to be held in France next month.
The 31-year-old has been named as the German captain by Joachim Low despite not playing for United since March because of a knee ligament injury sustained in Germany’s 3-2 friendly defeat by England.
