Bara Sapoko Ndiaye returns to Bayern Munich training after surgery

Bara Sapoko Ndiaye has taken an important step towards returning to action after rejoining training at Bayern Munich following surgery to remove his appendix.

The 18-year-old midfielder participated in a training session with Bayern’s reserve team on Tuesday alongside first-team star Jamal Musiala, marking another positive development in his recovery.

Bayern confirmed the youngster’s return to group training after he spent several weeks recovering from an appendectomy performed in October.

Ndiaye had been sidelined since undergoing the procedure but resumed his rehabilitation last Thursday with an individual running session at the club’s Säbener Straße training ground.

His latest involvement in training represents further progress as he works towards regaining full match fitness.

The midfielder was given the opportunity to train with the reserve side because Bayern’s senior team do not have collective training sessions scheduled this week during the international break.

Although his return to training is encouraging, the club will continue monitoring his physical condition before determining when he can resume competitive action.

Ndiaye will now hope to build on his progress and establish himself further within Bayern’s first-team setup after an unfortunate interruption to his development.

His return also provides positive news for the Munich club as they manage several fitness concerns within their squad.
