Toni Kroos hopes to recover by DFB-Pokal final time

Bayern Munich midfielder Toni Kroos has admitted that he may not recover from his injury in time for the DFB-Pokal final on June 1.

The 23-year-old is currently sidelined with ruptured muscle fibres in the hip area.

"The healing process is going well," Bayern's official website quotes Kroos as saying. "We're making progress step-by-step.

"I want to be back as soon as possible. I'm dreaming of the cup final, but it would be ridiculous to assume it."

Bayern will take on Stuttgart in the final.
