Lahm not worried by Schweinsteiger injury

Germany captain Philipp Lahm has claimed that he is not worried by Bastian Schweinsteiger's injury ahead of Euro 2012.

A calf problem is currently keeping the Bayern Munich midfielder out of training with his teammates.

However, Lahm believes that he will be fit for next month's tournament in Poland and Ukraine.

"Of course you want players as experienced as Bastian fully fit going into this tournament," he told reporters.

"But I'm assuming that he will be fit for the European Championships. And even if that is not the case, the team still has plenty of strength in depth in that position. So, I'm not worried."

Germany begin their campaign with a group stage fixture against Portugal on Saturday, June 9.
