The week at FC Bayern opened with good news and a very welcome development as Jérôme Boateng rejoined the squad for training for the first time since sustaining a groin injury in January. Boateng, who is now close to a comeback after three months on the sidelines, was greeted by his team-mates with applause on Monday afternoon and completed the full workout, although the World Cup winner avoided full-intensity tackling. No date has been set for the centre-back’s return to the matchday squad.
