Lennart Karl has taken the next step towards a comeback for Bayern Munich, training with the ball for the first time since his injury.

Together with teammate Serge Gnabry, who celebrated his 31st-birthday, the dup continued their joint rehabilitation together.

Karl managed to complete the entire training session with the ball for the first time today Tuesday, 14 July at Säbener Straße.

Gnabry has been working towards his return to team training with FC Bayern in individual sessions since the end of June.

Meanwhile, Karl only resumed running training last week since suffering a torn muscle bundle in his thigh in the run-up to the World Cup.
