Lennart Karl experienced back discomfort during today’s rehab session at Säbener Straße, according to TZ München, as he continues a lengthy recovery from a torn thigh muscle sustained before the 2026 World Cup with Germany.

The Bayern Munich winger was seen repeatedly clutching his back while jogging around the pitch, often grimacing.

Karl and teammate Serge Gnabry remain on a controlled workload and are behind Musiala, Davies and Saibari in their respective programmes.

Both Bayern and the player do not want to take unnecessary risks that could aggravate the injury. That could happen if he is put under too much strain too soon.

He is not expected to be available for the Super Cup against Dortmund.
