Bayern München have set a return date for Joshua Kimmich, who is currently sidelined due to a lung infiltration caused by COVID-19.

According to Bild, Kimmich is expected to be back on the pitch on January 2 when training resumes after the holiday break.

Kimmich hasn't played for Bayern since November. He was first quarantined after being in close contact with a person infected with coronavirus and later tested positive himself.

The 26-year-old has made 18 appearances for Bayern this season, racking up three goals and four assist.
