Busy day in the performance centre

It was all systems go at the FC Bayern performance centre on Wednesday even with a first team squad day off. Nearly all the players on the mend - including Philipp Lahm, Claudio Pizarro and Holger Badstuber - completed their physio and/or rehab work. Jérôme Boateng, Rafinha and FCB Reserves keeper Ivan Lucic also put in a shift at the performance centre today. With the thermometers showing an outdoors temperature of a dismal two degrees Celsius there were no volunteers prepared to venture onto the training ground.
