FC Bayern München winger Douglas Costa has started running again following a left thigh injury.

The Brazil international, who was forced to miss the Copa America Centenario and Olympic Games, completed a 20-minute circuit at Säbener Straße on Tuesday, before continuing his rehabilitation programme behind closed doors with fitness coach Thomas Wilhelmi.

The 1,500 or so fans in attendance at Bayern's public training session will also have been delighted to see fellow wide man Franck Ribery come through his second individual workout of the week unscathed. The Frenchman is recovering from a minor groin problem sustained during the club's summer tour of the USA.
