Luis Díaz takes the next step

Whilst most of his teammates are away on international duty, Luis Díaz is continuing his rehab programme at Säbener Straße. On Thursday, the Colombian took another important step towards returning to action. For the first time since suffering a muscle tear in the Champions League home game against Arsenal at the end of October, the 29-year-old forward was able to take part in team training sessions again.

Due to players being called up for international duty, the current training squad including Jamal Musiala and Bara Sapoko Ndiaye has once again been bolstered by a number of talented youngsters from the record champions’ youth setup. Both have been back in team training for some time now, having previously been sidelined due to a muscle injury and an appendectomy respectively.
