Bayern Munich

At Säbener Straße, progress is being made.

While Bayern Munich head coach Vincent Kompany has shutdown formal team operations this week, some players are putting in work. Manuel Neuer is rehabbing the calf issue that has felled him of late per Bild (via @iMiaSanMia):

Manuel Neuer stepped up his rehab today and made another step towards his comeback, which is planned against St. Pauli after the international break.

In addition, Aleksandar Pavlović is starting his slow journey back from a bout with mononucleosis per Bild (via @iMiaSanMia);

Aleksandar Pavlović will start light training during the current international break.

Clearly, both players will be welcomed additions upon their respective returns.
