Joachim Low claims Germany will be fighting fit when it counts in Brazil.

WE'RE SMILES BEHIND: Low says his players will be ready for Brazilian kick off

Star names Philipp Lahm, Bastian Schweinsteiger and goalkeeper Manuel Neuer have yet to start training, due to injury while midfielder Sami Khedira has only recently returned to action after six months out.

Low said: "When you see reports you would think that we are in a hospital here but that is not the case.

"The players are working very well and as it stands now I am very satisfied. Some are still injured and cannot fully train with the team but they are all training individually and I am very confident that it will work out."

Germany face Ghana, Portugal and the United States in Group G.
