The midfielder, who was named UEFA EURO 2016 Best Young Player of the Tournament for his part in Portugal's triumph, was only officially unveiled as a Bayern player on Saturday.

However, he was unable to take part in training on Sunday due to a thigh injury sustained in the continental final against France last month, with the club announcing he will need to rest for the next three to four weeks.
