BERLIN (Reuters) - Bayern Munich keeper Manuel Neuer has been included in their squad for the German Cup final against Eintracht Frankfurt on Saturday and will start on the bench, coach Jupp Heynckes said on Friday. Neuer, who won the World Cup in 2014 and has been Germany's first choice keeper for eight years, has been racing to get fit and started training with the team this week. Germany coach Joachim Loew said this week Neuer would have no chance of making the final squad for Russia next month without match practice but Heynckes sounded confident the keeper would be there. He will be a big support at the World Cup," Heynckes added. But for me a German Cup final in Berlin's Olympic stadium -- the German Wembley -- is a wonderful event," he said.
