According to a report from Sky Germany journalist Florian Plettenberg, Aleksandar Pavlović will return to the squad tonight for Bayern Munich’s DFB-Pokal clash against FC Magdeburg.
This is an encouraging development for Vincent Kompany’s side, as the young midfielder recently missed matches due to muscular problems in his left calf. Fortunately, the issue is not considered serious, and Pavlović is ready to rejoin the squad as Bayern look to secure their place in the next round of the competition.
Pavlović’s availability comes at a welcome time for Bayern, who have been dealing with several fitness concerns during a demanding stretch of the season. His return gives the coaching staff another option in midfield and provides much-needed flexibility with important fixtures approaching.
Whether Pavlović is ready to start or will initially be limited to a substitute appearance remains to be seen. Either way, having him back in contention is a positive step, particularly with Bayern needing depth and fresh legs across multiple competitions.
The priority will be ensuring that Pavlović has fully recovered before increasing his workload. Bayern will want him available for the long haul rather than risk aggravating a muscular issue.
For now, though, Pavlović’s return is a welcome boost for Bayern Munich.
