succession of injuries in recent years b
is closing in on full fitness once again Bastian Schweinsteiger is likely to mak his Bayern Munich return before the winter break after missing the start of
the campaign with a knee injury. Following Germany's World Cup succes
in Brazil, Schweinsteiger picked up a
minor ankle problem in Bayern's close-
season preparations before irritation
around the patellar tendon prevented
him from returning to competitive club action. The midfielder, 30, has been ruled out o
the early stages of Bayern's
Bundesliga defence as a result, but
chairman Karl-Heinz Rummenigge
confirmed the midfielder was set to
return before the turn of the year. "He is likely to come back in 2014," he
told Kicker. "All is okay. He may get back into the
team's training in the next international
break." Bayern's final game before the mid-
season break comes against Mainz at
the Coface Arena on December 19, wit
the club currently top of the Bundesliga
and their Champions League group in
Schweinsteiger's absence.
