Champions League: Müller is back: Neuer in running training

FC Bayern has prepared with Thomas Müller for the group game in the Champions League at FC Barcelona. Müller, who missed the 2-0 win against TSG 1899 Hoffenheim due to a gastrointestinal infection, jogged across the pitch on Tuesday during the final training session in Munich before departing for the Catalan port city. The ailing Kingsley Coman was also back before he met world footballer Robert Lewandowski again.

As expected, captain Manuel Neuer was absent from the unit in which the first 15 minutes were visible to the media. The goalkeeper has been out for four competitive games because of a bruised shoulder joint. Like Leroy Sané (torn muscle fiber), he did another running session on Tuesday. The possible return of the national goalkeeper is targeted for the Bundesliga game against FSV Mainz 05 on Saturday. In addition to the two German national players, the French world champion Lucas Hernández and Bouna Sarr are not there on Wednesday (9 p.m. / DAZN) against Barça.

In the Camp Nou, the people of Munich want to make the group victory in the premier football league perfect. If Inter Milan wins the game against Viktoria Pilsen, which starts around two hours earlier, Bayern need a three-pointer to win the group. Barcelona would then no longer have a chance of reaching the round of 16.

Müller is an expert on successes against FC Barcelona. In his eight games against the 26-time Spanish champions so far, the attacking player has won seven times and contributed to ten goals with eight goals and two assists.
