Manuel Neuer denies that there is unrest in the Germany camp at Euro 2012.

Germany goalkeeper Manuel Neuer has insisted that the country's squad depth is one of the main reasons for their success at Euro 2012.

The Germans have won every game at this summer's tournament, and the Bayern Munich number one has quashed rumours of unrest in the camp over playing time.

"Of course we're all professionals, and a lot of players that we have here might have deserved to play thus far. We have, compared to 2010, improved the squad with players that are key players in the Bundesliga. It's hard for them because they have to sit on the bench," he told reporters.

"They give their all in training, they're always ready to come in. We saw what happened when [Jerome] Boateng couldn't play, and [Lars] Bender came in [and scored]."

Germany face Greece in the quarter-finals on Friday.
