Frings fit for Semi - Germany team news Euro 08

Germany midfielder Torsten Frings has been passed fit to feature in the Euro 2008 semi-final against Turkey, having recovered from a rib injury.

The 31-year-old missed the 3-2 quarter-final win over Portugal due to a fractured rib, but has returned to training with the rest of Joachim Low's squad.

Low confirmed: "I'm fortunate to be able to say that all 23 players trained today and are fit.
"Torsten trained completely normally, but with a protective bandage. He said he had no major problems.

"He will have to live with a nagging pain, but as things stand he could play, yes.
"Frings is an important player and could return but, you know, we also say you should never change a winning team.

"I haven't put my mind to the line-up just yet."
