Bayern Munich boss Niko Kovac confirms Thiago will be fit to face Schalke after overcoming a toe injury

Bayern Munich's Thiago Alcantara will be fit for Saturday's Bundesliga match at Schalke after overcoming a toe injury that ruled him out of their mid-week Champions League win at Benfica, coach Niko Kovac said on Friday.

Midfielder Thiago's replacement Renato Sanches made the most of his rare start in their 2-0 win at Benfica on Wednesday, scoring one goal and helping set up the other.

'All players who played in Lisbon are fit. Thiago will also complete our final training,' Kovac said.
