The full picture
Bayern Munich is preparing to face Atlético Madrid in a crucial Champions League match, having had consecutive draws in the competition. Vincent Kompany's side cannot afford to lose more points if they want to secure a top-eight spot. Harry Kane and Joshua Kimmich have emphasized the importance of the match and the need for the team to step up their game.
The team is dealing with some injuries, but there have been positive developments on the training ground. Luis Díaz has resumed individual training with the ball for the first time since his muscle injury, and Jamal Musiala completed an individual training session, although his return is still too soon. Manuel Neuer and Jonas Urbig were available for the final training session.
Despite the injury situation not being ideal, Bayern Munich will need all available players to contribute to a statement performance in Madrid to get their Champions League campaign back on track. Michael Olise trained with the team, albeit with a bandaged knee, indicating some ongoing concerns.
