World Cup: Germany recall Bayern Munich midfielder Bastian Schweinsteiger

Germany have selected Bastian Schweinsteiger for their forthcoming World Cup qualifiers against Republic of Ireland and Sweden.

The rest of Low's 22-man squad is identical to the one which won their first two qualifying games with the exception of Julian Draxler's inclusion. Schalke's young midfielder broke his arm in the midweek UEFA Champions League draw with Montpellier. "It is obviously a very bitter injury for Julian," said Low. "We all wish him a speedy recovery."
