Dayot Upamecano is making solid strides in his recovery from a cartilage injury, with his sights set firmly on being ready for the Club World Cup.
The Bayern Munich defender, sidelined since late March, has resumed light training, including ball work, sprints, and jumps, according to Sky Sports.
Though his return before the end of the Bundesliga season isn’t guaranteed, it hasn’t been ruled out either. Bayern, already cruising toward the league title, are unlikely to rush his comeback.
Instead, the focus is on ensuring the Frenchman is fully fit for the Club World Cup later this year.
Upamecano’s absence was felt in Bayern’s Champions League exit to Inter Milan in the quarter-finals, but his progress in training is a positive sign for fans and the team.
For now, all eyes are on his steady progress, with the Club World Cup serving as both a motivation and milestone.
As his recovery gathers pace, Bayern will be hoping he returns stronger than ever, just in time for their next big challenge.
