Comebacks in sight: The status of Sane and Hernandez

FC Bayern can plan again with Leroy Sane and Lucas Hernandez in the near future. After surviving injuries, the duo is about to return. A game against Inter Milan on Tuesday would be too great a risk for Sane and Hernandez.

Bayern head coach Julian Nagelsmann has had to do without the in-form Leroy Sane for two weeks. The German international tore a muscle fiber in his left thigh against SC Freiburg on October 16. On Sunday, Sane returned to Munich's team training and could celebrate his comeback in Tuesday's Champions League game against Inter Milan. Since Bayern are already the group winners, Nagelsmann should not take any risks with Sane.

Lucas Hernandez is also about to return to team training. The Frenchman has been out for a month and a half with a torn muscle. Hernandez will return to team ratings on Monday, as Julian Nagelsmann announced on Friday. A comeback against Inter Milan seems unlikely for the reasons mentioned above. Next weekend FC Bayern meets Hertha BSC in the Bundesliga; there Hernandez and Sane could then return to the pitch.
