Much maligned Bayern Munich midfielder Leon Goretzka returned to team training today after missing the WSG Tirol friendly due a minor pelvic injury.
While the 29-year-old made his return, striker Harry Kane was given the day off. Kane played the first half against WSG Tirol on Tuesday, scoring a goal and giving his squad a 1-0 lead:
Leon #Goretzka is back in team training. He missed the game against Tirol due to a slight pelvic injury. Harry #Kane is sitting out today. #FCBayern
Boey works out individually…again
Sacha Boey’s status is shrouded in mystery at this point as he has not been a part of team events all week:
Sacha #Boey fehlt weiter im Team-Training. Wird er nicht rechtzeitig fit, könnte Josip #Stanisic im Pokal in der Startelf stehen. #FCBayern

Sacha #Boey is still missing from team training. If he is not fit in time, Josip #Stanisic could be in the starting eleven in the cup. #FCBayern
Abendzeitung’s Victor Catalina reiterated that Boey has not been given any injury designation by the club at this point:
Offiziell ist keine Verletzung bei Sacha Boey kommuniziert. Der Franzose trainierte in den letzten Tagen immer wieder mal individuell. Wenn es nicht für Ulm reicht wäre Josip Stanisic, der in der Vorbereitung überzeugen konnte, erster Ersatz. Upa/Minjae dann innen. #FCBayern https://t.co/bevLcjeBJx

Sacha Boey has not been officially injured. The Frenchman has been training individually over the last few days. If he is not good enough for Ulm, Josip Stanisic, who impressed in the pre-season, would be the first substitute. Upa/Minjae would then be inside. #FCBayern
There was no update released for Leroy Sané and Tarek Buchmann, who have not been participating in team training as of yet.
