Gotze nearing Bayern comeback

The Germany international is expected to resume squad training shortly, while Javi Martinez is on his way back, too

Bayern Munich coach Pep Guardiola will shortly be able to call upon the services of Mario Gotze after a spell on the sidelines for the 21-year-old.

The Germany international picked up an ankle injury in his side’s Super Cup win over Chelsea back in August and has been out of action ever since.

Nevertheless, the former Borussia Dortmund star is set to resume regular training action as he is edging ever closer to his comeback.

“Gotze’s currently working out individually with the ball but, if all goes according to plan, he should be able to join in parts of the squad workout in a couple of days,” a statement on the official Bayern website reads.

Meanwhile, Javi Martinez is still some way off making his comeback after groin surgery earlier this month, but the Spain international is off crutches at last and has begun stamina-building running.

“I’m feeling better with every passing day. I hope I can be back helping the team very soon,” the holding midfielder said.
