"I have the team in my head and Bastian Schweinsteiger will definitely start," Low, 56, said."I said if he trains 100% without complaints then he'll play. He trained this morning and had no complaints."
He added: "The injury is cured and he showed against Italy he's got the strength to play from the start, and I believe he's very, very important, particularly in such a game - his experience is very valuable.
"We have three players - Mario Gomez, Sami Khedira and Mats Hummels - whom we have to replace, which is not easy, and this is why it is important that an experienced player like Bastian starts."
"Super, when it's like this. No really, it's a motivation," Loew said from his team's tournament base on Monday. "In Brazil, I think it was exactly the same for the semifinal. The whole land of 200 million was standing behind this team. But we came through fine and now we'll come through fine."Expectations in France are surging after the side impressed in defeating Iceland 5-2 on Sunday to reach the semifinal.
Loew said the home side will have "fanatical support behind them in Marseille" and that the team will be high on confidence after growing into the tournament by scoring decisive goals late in games.
"Two teams with outstanding individuals are playing, teams with a clear mindset," said Loew, who had identified France as one of the main favourites before the tournament.
"They are different from the Italians, not quite so defensive. They have strong players going forward, [Paul] Pogba from midfield, [Blaise] Matuidi. So it's a game of two teams at eye-level. It's super that there are such games. I love these knockout games against such strong opponents."
