FC Bayern is experiencing some relief in their personnel situation as Minjae Kim and Aleksandar Pavlovic have resumed individual training at Säbener Straße, according to FCBinside. Both players had been sidelined due to injuries, with Kim suffering from muscle issues and Pavlovic dealing with minor calf discomfort. They had missed the 3-1 away win at SC Freiburg on Sunday. The development is seen as a positive step toward their potential return to the team.

The return of Kim and Pavlovic could be crucial for FC Bayern ahead of their upcoming matches, including the DFB Cup match against 1. FC Magdeburg on Wednesday and the top Bundesliga clash against Borussia Dortmund on Saturday. Pavlovic's absence had previously forced significant lineup changes, and his return, along with Kim's, would alleviate some of the team's personnel shortages. However, it's uncertain whether they will be available as early as Wednesday.

While individual training is a positive sign, the decisive factor for their return to the roster will be their participation in team training in the coming sessions. Assistant coach Aaron Danks had previously downplayed Kim's issue as minor, and club officials had been cautious with Pavlovic to avoid further risk. The progress made by both players is timely, given the team's upcoming fixtures.
