Schweinsteiger doubtful for Hannover clash

Bayern Munich coach Pep Guardiola will possibly have to make do without the services of Bastian Schweinsteiger when they take on Hannover at the weekend as the midfielder is still some way off regaining top fitness.

The Germany international picked up an ankle injury in the 1-1 draw against Freiburg back in August and was consequently forced to miss out on his club's European Super Cup triumph over Chelsea. 

Bayern have now announced that Schweinsteiger has resumed training with the first-team squad, but the visit of Mirko Slomka's men may come too soon for the 29-year-old, who played a crucial role in Bayern's treble-winning 2012-13 campaign.
