Bastian Schweinsteiger has opened up that he can't play for 90 minutes yet.
The 31 year old was injured on international duty in March and has since been out of action.
He made his long awaited return in Germany's first game of the European Championship, as a 90 minute substitute and grabbed Germany's winning goal in the 92nd minutes in their 2-0 win over Ukraine.
Speaking after the game, he said:
"After all the injuries ... something like this happens. I can't play 90 or 120 minutes yet but I'm feeling like I can play.
"I feel really good. I think if I stay healthy I'll be able to play. I hope I can play some more."
German coach Joachim Löw, was delighted by his impact but said, the United midfielder didn't play according to plan.
"It wasn't really the plan that Bastian was going to surface so far forward." Löw said.
"We sent him on to try to calm things down."
