Germany's Boateng back in training

Germany central defender Jerome Boateng returned to training on
Saturday after overcoming a muscle injury and appeared fit for Sunday's
Euro 2016 round of 16 clash against Slovakia.
Boateng picked up a
calf muscle injury towards the end of their 1-0 victory over Northern
Ireland this week and his participation on Sunday was in doubt.
He
did not train with the team on Friday, undergoing an individual session
involving cycling and jogging, and seemed fit on Saturday, as Germany
prepare for their departure to Lille later in the day.
The
27-year-old, who has resumed his World Cup-winning partnership in
central defence with Mats Hummels, has helped the world champions keep a
clean sheet in all three of their group stage matches in the tournament
so far.
The winner of the round of 16 match will next play either Italy or Euro holders Spain in the quarter-finals.
