The midfielder is happy with his form following a
three-month injury lay-off but acknowledges that there is still much room for
improvement
Bayern Munich’s Bastian Schweinsteiger is delighted to
have returned to competitive football after a three-month absence but says that
his performances are not yet as good as they should be.
The Germany international, who was sidelined for three
months with an ankle injury, made his comeback in February and since then he
has scored two goals in seven appearances, including the winner in a 2-1 win
over Bayer Leverkusen on Saturday.
However, he still believes he has more to give and is
working hard to reach top gear as soon as possible.
"I'm glad I no longer hurt as much. I feel a lot
better." Schweinsteiger told his club’s official website.
"I am trying to reach my absolute top level as fast
as possible. I'm not yet where I want to be [in terms of my level of
performance], but I am glad that things are looking up."
Bayern’s sporting director Matthias Sammer is happy with
Schweinsteiger’s recovery, but he has urged the midfielder to be patient and
give himself time to get back to full fitness.
"I’ve known him for 20 months now and his whole
movement is getting better,” added the 46-year-old. “He looks physically very
stable.
“We should not forget that he wasn’t able to train really
free after his operation.
“The timing is everything now. The last percentage of
fitness will come with training and games.”
