Germany midfielder Bastian Schweinsteiger has praised the form of fellow Bayern Munich teammate Mario Gomez.

Gomez took his Euro 2012 goalscoring tally to three when he netted twice against the Netherlands on Wednesday, and Schweinsteiger is not surprised by his form.

"It's important for us that we have a striker who needs hardly any chance to score a goal," he told reporters.

"At the moment, we have the feeling that when we send the ball forwards, Mario is always there."

Germany need just a single point against Denmark on Sunday to be sure of a spot in the quarter-finals.
