Overview

  • Pavlovic first rejoined team sessions on Aug. 18, around two weeks after fracturing his eye socket in early August.
  • He previously resumed running drills last week as part of a phased rehabilitation following surgery.
  • The 21-year-old midfielder sat out Bayern’s 2–1 Supercup victory over VfB Stuttgart on Aug. 16.
  • Teammates Hiroki Ito and Paul Wanner continued individual running workouts at Säbener Straße due to their own recovery from a metatarsal fracture and an ankle ligament injury.
  • Bayern will begin the Bundesliga season against RB Leipzig on Friday with Pavlovic’s participation still uncertain.
