He has not played since September, but Manuel Neuer will start in goal for Germany at the World Cup in Russia.
Defending champions Germany, who are 9/2 to win the World Cup again this summer, are well blessed with goalkeepers as Barcelona's Marc-Andre ter Stegen provides a more the able back-up to Neuer.
The 32-year-old Bayern Munich keeper hasn't played since breaking his foot in September, but he will have the gloves for Joachim Low's side if he makes the final 23-man squad.
Low selected four goalkeepers in his extended 27-man preliminary Germany squad for the World Cup, with Neuer facing a race against time to prove his fitness.
However, the Germany captain is said to be on track and team manager Oliver Bierhoff has confirmed that if he is fit and makes Monday's final cut then he will start in goal in Russia.
"Manuel will go to the World Cup as our number one," said Bierhoff.
"If he makes the squad then Marc-Andre [ter Stegen] will be number two.
"Manuel is already full on track. He does not need to get back on it."
