Hertha Berlin defender Marvin Plattenhardt stood in for Hector in Die Mannschaft's shock defeat in Moscow.

"All the players are preparing for the match in Sochi, including Hector," said team spokesman Jens Grittner.

"He is recovering actively, he trained in the gym in the morning and is now preparing for the game against the Swedes with everybody else."

The 28-year-old Cologne defender has 38 caps for Germany and could make his World Cup debut when Germany face Sweden on Sunday at 1:00am AEST.
