Bayern Munich midfielder Leon Goretzka is fiercely fighting to attain his goal of being ready for this summer’s European Championships.
With Germany’s squad being announced earlier this week, Goretzka is already back on the training pitch and working hard to get back into top form in time to help Die Mannschaft prepare for the Euros — which will be no easy task for the Germans given the team starts in a group with France, Portugal, and Hungary.
Sport Bild reporter Tobi Altschäffl captured the latest news on Goretzka in the tweet below:
Gute Nachrichten von Leon Goretzka! Der Bayern-Profi ist zurück auf dem Rasen, absolviert lockeres Lauftraining. Der EM-Start ist für ihn gesichert. Goretzka will schon im Trainingslager in Seelfeld zur Nationalmannschaft stoßen. #fcbayern

Goretzka underwent two MRIs to assess the damage in his thigh, which was diagnosed as a “tear.” Now, however, it appears that the 26-year-old is well on his way to making a return.
