"Under alle circumstances, I feel quite well," the experienced centre-back told Bild.
Last Tuesday, Bender went to München to have his foot examined.
"The result was okay. I still feel a bit of pain, but I can do everything in training," Bender said.
Leverkusen are still to take a point this season after losing the first two Bundesliga games to Borussia Mönchengladbach (0-2) and VfL Wolfsburg (1-3), and Bender admits 'Die Werkself' expected a better start.
"Of course, it's not looking good. Two defeats were not what we had imagined. That's why we have to tighten up and improve," he told Bild.
The 29-year-old joined Bayer Leverkusen from Borussia Dortmund in 2017.
