Michael Olise trains ahead of Bayern Munich’s Champions League clash against Atletico Madrid

Bayern Munich have received a boost ahead of Tuesday’s Champions League encounter against Atletico Madrid, with Michael Olise returning to team training after suffering a knee problem against Borussia Dortmund.

The 24-year-old winger participated in Monday’s final training session at Säbener Strasse, raising hopes that he could be available for the trip to the Spanish capital.

Olise had been forced off during the closing stages of Saturday’s 2-2 Bundesliga draw against Dortmund after experiencing discomfort in his knee. His early substitution raised concerns over his availability for the crucial European fixture.

However, the former Crystal Palace attacker trained with his teammates on Monday while wearing a protective bandage around his knee.

His return represents encouraging news for Bayern, who are already dealing with several injury problems ahead of the encounter.

Despite completing the training session, Olise’s participation against Atletico is not yet guaranteed, with the medical staff expected to assess his condition before making a final decision.

Bayern sporting director Max Eberl has indicated that the club will avoid taking unnecessary risks with the winger to prevent a potentially longer absence.

Olise has been an important attacking figure for the German champions, and his availability would provide an additional creative option as they prepare for a difficult away fixture.

Bayern will be hoping to have the attacker fit as they look to secure a positive result against Diego Simeone’s side and strengthen their position in the Champions League league phase.
