Training Update: Corentin Tolisso returns to team training for Bayern Munich, while Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting sits out

According to Bild, there was some interesting news from today’s training session at Bayern Munich.

One day after Alphonso Davies and Kingsley Coman re-appeared, Corentin Tolisso returned to team training after doing a few individual sessions to get his wind back after battling a positive test for COVID-19. The Bayern Munich club website issued this note on Tolisso’s formal return to team training:

The news, however, was not so great for back-up striker Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting. The former Mainz 05 and Paris Saint-Germain man was not sees at training:

Many Bayern Munich fans are likely hoping they do not have to find out!
