Bayer Leverkusen youngster Florian Wirtz has returned to training, the Bundesliga outfit announced today.

The 19-year-old attacking midfielder took part in a training session with his teammates today, Friday.

It's the first time Wirtz has trained with the ball since he suffered a cruciate ligament rupture back in March.

It remains to be seen if Wirtz will be able to make his return to action before the World Cup in November.
