Bayern Munich is hopeful that Michael Olise will be available to play against Atlético Madrid in their Champions League match after he injured his right knee during a Bundesliga game against Borussia Dortmund. Olise took part in Bayern's final training session on Monday and the mandatory warm-up session on Tuesday. His participation is seen as a positive sign, according to FCBinside. The club is cautious and hasn't made a final decision.

Interim coach Aaron Danks initially left Olise's availability uncertain, stating that the club needed to see how his knee would react to the strain. Sports Director Max Eberl emphasized that the final decision would be made on game day. Olise's potential return is significant for Bayern, who are missing several key offensive players, including Ismael Saibari, Serge Gnabry, Luis Díaz, and Jamal Musiala.

Bayern Munich is under pressure and needs a win against Atlético Madrid to avoid falling behind in the Champions League. Olise is one of Munich's most important creative players and can make a difference with his individual talents. While his participation in the warm-up session is positive, official confirmation is still pending, and it's unclear if he'll start or come off the bench.
