Bastian Schweinsteiger has suffered a partial tear of the medial collateral ligament in his right knee that could rule him out for the remainder of the season with Manchester United and for Euro 2016.

Schweinsteiger suffered the injury during training with Germany on Tuesday.

The statement said: “World Cup winner Schweinsteiger sustained the injury to his right knee on Tuesday afternoon toward the end of the training session.”

Schweinsteiger had only just returned from a knee injury that ruled him from 9 January.
