Michael Olise ready for Bayern Munich return against Heidenheim

Michael Olise is back in full training with Bayern Munich and is expected to be in the squad for the Bundesliga clash with Heidenheim on 21 December.

The 24-year-old winger completed every part of Thursday’s session, including crosses, corners and set piece drills, showing he has shaken off recent fitness concerns.​

Olise had undergone minor eye surgery earlier in the week, which initially raised doubts about his availability for Bayern’s final official game of 2025. His swift return to unrestricted work with the first team is a major boost for coach Vincent Kompany as Bayern look to finish the year strongly in front of their home fans.​

The former Crystal Palace attacker has been one of Bayern’s standout performers this season with his creativity, set piece quality and sharp movement between the lines.

In the Bundesliga alone, Olise has played 14 games, scored six goals and delivered eight assists, underlining just how influential he has become in the final third. His presence against Heidenheim should add extra spark to Bayern’s attack.
