Portuguese full-back Raphaël Guerreiro has rejoined his FC Bayern Munich teammates for training sessions. The 32-year-old defender took part in Monday’s practice at the club’s training ground. This development comes just two days before the German giants host Paris Saint-Germain in the second leg of their UEFA Champions League semi-final tie at the Allianz Arena.
The experienced utility player had been absent from recent matches due to a thigh problem. He sustained this muscle injury during Bayern’s dramatic 4-3 Bundesliga victory against 1. FSV Mainz 05 on April 25. Consequently, he sat out the first leg against PSG and the weekend fixture versus 1. FC Heidenheim.
Medical staff remain cautious about his availability for Wednesday’s high-stakes encounter. While Guerreiro has completed some training, his match fitness remains uncertain. Head coach Vincent Kompany faces a late decision regarding his inclusion in the matchday squad.
Meanwhile, young defender Lennart Karl also participated in Monday’s session. The academy graduate offers additional defensive cover as Bayern aim to secure a place in the Champions League final.
