Bastian set to return

German league leaders Bayern Munich expect to have vice-captain and Germany star Bastian Schweinsteiger back in their starting line-up when they host Nuremberg in the Bundesliga on Saturday.
Schweinsteiger sat out Bayern's 6-0 demolition of second-division Ingolstadt 04 in the German Cup on Wednesday with a heavy cold as coach Jupp Heynckes blooded several promising youngsters.
The Germany star returned to training on Thursday and is set to be included by Heynckes as Bayern prepare to bounce back from last Sunday's shock 2-1 defeat at Hanover 96 in the Bavarian derby with mid-table Nuremberg.
Despite last weekend's defeat, Bayern still enjoy a three-point lead in the league table over defending German champions Borussia Dortmund, who are at VfB Stuttgart on Saturday.
Heynckes is likely to resort to his first team against Nuremberg at the Allianz Arena, but both Japanese teenager Takashi Usami and Austrian youngster David Alaba, both 19, scored against Ingolstadt and impressed.
"Takashi is a huge talent, an instinct footballer who has a special gift," said Heynckes.
"He plays just like (Franck) Ribery, (Arjen) Robben or Schweinsteiger."
Usami scored his first goal for Bayern's first-team against Ingolstadt having played just one German league game so far since his arrival from Gamba Osaka in July and it remains to be seen whether he will feature against Nuremberg.
Germany defender Jerome Boateng sits out the game for Bayern after receiving a two-match ban for the red card he got against Hanover.
Second-placed Dortmund can expect to have their first-choice midfield of Mario Goetze, Japan's Shinji Kagawa and rising Germany star Kevin Grosskreutz against Stuttgart.
