Hummels was absent from Germany's recent internationals against the United States and Gibraltar to rest a hip problem he had been managing in the closing stages of the Bundesliga season with Dortmund.

The centre-back has been linked with a £20million switch to Old Trafford this summer, as United boss Louis van Gaal seeks to strengthen his defence.
