Ismael Saibari provided a brief injury update at a press conference on Friday.
The new Bayern Munich signing suffered a hamstring injury while representing Morocco at the World Cup and has since made good progress in his recovery.
“I've recovered well, I'm back in full team training," Saibari said.
The 25-year-old could potentially feature in Saturday’s Telekom Cup match against RB Leipzig.
“I still need to check with the medical team, then we'll see,” he said.
As for his role in Bayern’s team, Saibari said he has yet to discuss it in detail with head coach Vincent Kompany, but confirmed that he prefers to play as a central attacking midfielder.
“I haven't discussed it in detail with the coach. I've been focusing on my injury and comeback. We'll definitely talk about it soon,” he said.
"My favourite position is the number ten, everyone knows that. But I can play in several positions, we always switch around during games anyway. I can also play out wide and a bit deeper."
