Michael Olise returns to training

Michael Olise was forced to leave the field during the match against Borussia Dortmund due to an injury to his right knee. However, recent developments suggest that the French international may have avoided the most severe consequences of the injury.

Training participation signals progress

Encouraging news has come from Bavaria, as Olise participated in the team training session of Bayern Munich on Monday morning. This indicates that his recovery is progressing well and he is likely to be fit for the upcoming match.

Inclusion in Champions League squad

The former Crystal Palace player is included in the Bavarian squad for the upcoming match against Atlético de Madrid on Tuesday night, as part of the fourth round of the league phase of the Champions League. The German club revealed a list of 19 players on its social media accounts.

Manuel Neuer returns to the squad

Absent from the last three matches, Manuel Neuer is also returning to the squad for this trip to the Spanish capital. His return adds depth to the team's goalkeeping options for the crucial match against Atlético.

Luis Diaz remains sidelined

However, the Bayern will still have to do without Luis Diaz, who sustained a mild muscle tear in the left hamstring during the match against Arsenal in the third round of the Champions League. The club has indicated that he has completed his first individual training session with the ball on Monday morning.

Other players absent from match

Jamal Musiala (thigh), Ismael Saibari (ankle), and Serge Gnabry (hamstring) will also be absent at the Wanda Metropolitano. Their absence means the team will need to rely on other players to cover for them in the upcoming match.

Bayern's current standings

In terms of standings, Bayern Munich currently occupies 14th place in the league phase with three matches played. After starting their 2026-2027 campaign with a convincing victory against Bodo/Glimt (5-0), Vincent Kompany's team then drew two matches against Viking FK (3-3) and Arsenal (2-2).

Need for positive result

To get closer to the Top 8, which would guarantee direct qualification for the next round, the Bavarians will therefore need to achieve a positive result against Atlético. This match is crucial for their progression in the competition.
