Germany have been gearing up ahead of their Euro 2016 last 16 meeting with Slovakia.

The world champions trained on Saturday with Jerome Boateng joining them after overcoming a muscle injury.

The 27-year old picked up a calf injury in his side’s 1-0 victory over Northern Ireland on Tuesday and his participation for the upcoming match was in doubt.

But the defender appeared fit during the training session and seems to be ready for the crucial Sunday encounter.

Germany started their Euro 2016 campaign by defeating Ukraine 2-0. They then drew goal-less with Poland before beating Northern Ireland in Group D to reach the last 16.
