Bayern Munich's Lennart Karl trains with ball again; Gnabry also rehabilitating

Lennart Karl, a young talent at Bayern Munich, is making strides in his recovery from a thigh injury that sidelined him during the World Cup. The 18-year-old offensive player has begun training with the ball again, marking a significant step towards his return to the pitch.

Karl is not alone in his rehabilitation efforts. Serge Gnabry, who has been sidelined since April with an adductor tear, is also diligently working on his comeback. The 31-year-old joined Karl in ball training, indicating progress in his recovery from the injury that prevented him from participating in the World Cup.

“

It's naturally much more fun to train with the team - you have to say that. I miss the guys, I miss team training, I miss the intensity with the ball.

Gnabry recently shared his feelings about the rehabilitation process, expressing how much he misses the intensity of team training and working with the ball. He described the rehab as a long and repetitive process focused on endurance, which, while not always enjoyable, is crucial for his return to play. Both players' dedication to their recovery highlights their commitment to rejoining the Bayern Munich squad.

Rehab is strongly focused on endurance, which is not necessarily the most fun thing imaginable. But it is enormously important to be able to play again. They are long days, often the same routine with many repetitions, many exercises... it's a completely different kind of exertion.
