On Tuesday morning, Jupp Heynckes greeted his squad for the first team training session of 2018 at Säbener Straße following the winter training camp in Doha. One of the players present was Joshua Kimmich after overcoming his illness, and he was able to take full part in the session. The right-back had in fact had an extra session on his own the previous day to try and get himself up to speed.
Hummels and Lewandowski making progress
Things are also looking up for Mats Hummels and Robert Lewandowski. Both were only able to train individually in Doha but were once again in the thick of it with their teammates on Tuesday. Lewandowski took part in roughly 45 minutes of the hour-long session, while Hummels took part in the team’s warm-up before continuing his own individual exercises.
