Good news for Bayern: Two injured stars making progress | OneFootball

FC Bayern has good news to celebrate: Two recently injured professionals are returning sooner than expected.

The training comeback of Jonas Urbig before the Champions League duel on Tuesday with the Cypriot champions FC Paphos was particularly surprising. The 22-year-old keeper, who had suffered a muscle tear in the adductors just a week ago in training, was already back on the training ground at Säbener Straße on Monday morning.

Initially, a break of about three weeks was expected, but now Urbig is already working on his comeback. According to BILD information, it looks good that he can return faster than expected. Although it's too early for him to play in the match in Cyprus, he could be an option for the Bundesliga away game in Frankfurt over the weekend. In Paphos, Sven Ulreich will be the number two behind regular keeper Manuel Neuer, as before.

FC Bayern: Stanisic starts running training

There is also positive news from Josip Stanisic. The Croatian national player, who had suffered a knee ligament injury against Chelsea, was able to run individually on the field for the first time. A video from Munich's tz showed the 24-year-old in light recovery training. Stanisic will also need some more time, but his return to team training is getting closer.

Coach Vincent Kompany is therefore hopeful that the tense personnel situation in the defense will soon ease. In addition to Stanisic and Urbig, Alphonso Davies and Hiroki Ito are also missing for a longer period. Offensive star Jamal Musiala is working on his return after his fibula fracture.

Before the departure to Cyprus, the mood was good despite the many absences. Harry Kane and his colleagues completed the final training on Monday morning in a relaxed atmosphere, before heading to the Mediterranean in the afternoon.
