With the international break underway, Bayern Munich have been handed a welcome boost on the injury front.

The German champions confirmed that Luis Diaz returned to team training on Thursday, taking part in a session with his teammates for the first time since suffering a muscle tear in the 2-2 draw with Arsenal last month.

This represents another step forward for the Colombia international, who will continue his rehabilitation programme at Säbener Strasse as he targets a return to action before the end of the month.

Jamal Musiala and Bara Sapoko Ndiaye also took part in Thursday's session as they continued their respective recoveries from a muscle injury and an appendectomy.

Bayern are next in action on Friday next week, when they host 1. FC Köln at the Allianz Arena following the international break.
