Philipp Lahm resumes running, Franck Ribéry trains

Two key players are working on their comebacks, with Philipp Lahm resuming running after having injured his hamstring and Franck Ribéry returning to training after breaking a rib.

As essential performers at FC Bayern, the news about their progress are obviously welcome. It probably is soon to talk about them playing on the next matchday. The team can afford to be cautious to prevent further injury problems.

Claudio Pizarro and Xherdan Shaqiri also had workouts. Their status is not very clear yet but they are expected to return before the winter break.

The team finally has a normal week with six days between fixtures. The last Champions League group stage game is taking place on 10 December. It won’t hurt to have regular training instead of traveling to another country on a tight schedule!
