After a full four months out of action, Thiago had the ball at his feet again for the first time on Tuesday. It was immediately obvious that the gifted Spaniard has lost none of his instinctive skill as he juggled the ball using his feet, knee, thigh shoulder and head. A reintroduction to work on the ball was part of the day’s programme for the 22-year-old, who last had a football at his feet on 14 October last year. Tuesday’s session was the next small but important step on the road to a comeback.

Germany contest a group also including Sweden (4 March), China (6 March) and Brazil (9 March).
