"Bayern Munich's first team training session got off to a rousing start - Michael Olise was late (covered by BFW here) and Joshua Kimmich is still dealing with an ankle injury that has hampered him since November. For Kimmich, individual work was on the menu per FCBayern.com: Joshua Kimmich sat out the first team training session of 2026, with the FC Bayern midfielder completing an individual build-up programme following the ankle injury he sustained at the end of the year."
"Despite the injury, Kimmich played for Germany and also only sat out on November 22nd vs. SC Freiburg and on December 21st vs. Heidenheim. The midfielder pushed through matches against teams like St. Paul, VfB Stuttgart, and Mainz 05 instead of resting. Now, he could be paying the price for it. Hopefully, this is the tail end of the injury and also some precautionary measures put in place by the Bavarians. If not, this could be a problem."
"Bild (via @iMiaSanMia) noted that everyone else was available except Kimmich and Nicolas Jackson, who is on international duty with Senegal: With the exception of Nicolas Jackson (AFCON) and Joshua Kimmich (ankle problem), the entire squad was available at the training restart today. Manuel Neuer, who missed the last game of the year with a hamstring strain, completed a 45-minute individual session alongside goalkeeping coach Michael Rechner."
Joshua Kimmich sat out Bayern Munich's first-team training restart while completing an individual build-up programme for an ankle injury sustained at the end of the year. The ankle problem has hampered him since November, yet he continued to play for Germany and only missed matches on November 22nd and December 21st. Kimmich pushed through games against St. Pauli, VfB Stuttgart, and Mainz 05, and now faces potential consequences from that workload. Nicolas Jackson was absent on international duty with Senegal, and Manuel Neuer completed a 45-minute individual session after a hamstring strain. Several young players participated in the team session.
