Bayern Munich could soon have another young attacking option available as winger Maycon Cardozo edges closer to a return from injury.
According to a report from Bild (as captured by @iMiaSanMia), the 18-year-old has returned to team training two and a half months after undergoing shoulder surgery. Even better, Cardozo is now able to participate in duels again—an encouraging sign that his comeback is getting closer.
Cardozo’s return could be a useful development for Vincent Kompany as Bayern look to
maintain their momentum and pursue a potential treble. Every additional attacking option matters during the business end of a season, particularly when the schedule becomes increasingly demanding and injuries become more of a problem within the squad.
The Brazilian teenager isn’t necessarily expected to immediately become a regular contributor, but his availability could give Kompany another option to consider when managing minutes and navigating a crowded fixture list. Bayern’s established attackers will remain central to the team’s ambitions, but having another young winger available could provide some welcome flexibility.
For Cardozo, the immediate priority will be completing his recovery and getting back to competitive football. After spending more than two months sidelined, simply returning to full training represents an important step.
If he can regain his fitness and find his rhythm, Cardozo could give Bayern another intriguing option as the club looks to finish the campaign with silverware on multiple fronts.
