Aleksandar Pavlovic has recovered well from breaking his collarbone in a mid-October match against Stuttgart.

In an interview with AZ, the central midfielder has revealed how Bayern coach Vincent Kompany helped him during his time on the sidelines.

"He's great for us players because he's been through almost every situation as a player. 

"Especially when you're injured, he talks to you a lot and makes you feel like you're still part of the team," said Pavlovic, who is delighted with how 2024 has turned out for him.

“I am very happy that I was able to come back quickly after the injury and play again. I'm very grateful for 2024.”

Pavlovic returned from injury against Leverkusen on 3 December and has featured in four of Bayern's last five games.
