Neuer wary of Hamsik threat

The Germany goalkeeper says he and his team-mates know how good the Slovakia man is from distance and insists they won't be taking the game easily despite being favourites

Germany goalkeeper Manuel Neuer has highlighted Marek Hamsik as Slovakia's greatest attacking threat ahead of their Euro 2016 clash on Sunday.

Neuer is yet to concede a goal at the tournament as Group C winners Germany prepare to meet Slovakia, who progressed from Group B as one of the best third-placed teams, in the last 16.

But Germany's stand-in captain conceded that it will be more of a challenge to maintain his run of clean sheets in the knockout rounds of the Euros and is wary of Hamsik's quality, particularly from long-range shots.
