Thiago returns to Bayern training
Munich - FC Bayern München midfielder has taken a significant step on the way to returning from injury by taking part in team training on Thursday morning.
Welcome boost
The 23-year-old Spain international
damaged knee ligaments in March
this year and had hoped to make his comeback at the start of the 2014/15 campaign, only to suffer a setback in August that delayed his return.

It is not yet known whether he is a candidate to feature in Bayern’s squad to face SV Werder Bremen on 18 October, but the fact he is nearing full fitness will be a welcome boost for coach Pep Guardiola, who is still without fellow central midfielders Bastian Schweinsteiger and Javi Martinez.
