Diaz takes next step in injury recovery and joins Bayern team training

Bayern Munich midfielder Luis Diaz has returned to team training, the Bundesliga leaders said in a statement on Thursday.

Diaz is recovering from a muscle tear suffered in the Champions League match against Arsenal at the end of October.

"The Colombian took another important step towards returning to action," Bayern said.

Most of the Bavarian squad is away for international break and the current training session was bolstered by a number of players from the youth academy.

Injured midfielder Jamal Musiala also took part in the session. He's been sidelined since sustaining a hamstring injury with Germany at the end of September.

Bayern will be back in action on November 20 in the Bundesliga match against Cologne.
