Bayern's Hopeful Horizon: Pavlovic's Anticipated Return from Illness
- Bayern Munich's Bright Outlook: Eberl Discusses Pavlovic's Return
Hey there! Let's dive into some exciting football news!
A potential ray of sunshine for Bundesliga giants, FC Bayern? The sports director, Max Eberl, dropped a hint that Aleksandar Pavlovic, their Serbian midfielder, might be back earlier than anticipated following a serious illness.
With the next absence of star player Jamal Musiala in Bayern's 3-1 win against FC Augsburg in the Bundesliga, Eberl revealed some promising news about Pavlovic. "I reckon Aleks will rejoin the squad in the near future," Eberl said, referring to the 20-year-old who had been battling Pfeiffer's glandular fever. "He's back in training," Eberl shared, outlining Pavlovic's individual program. "All his health indicators are looking good," Eberl pointed out, noticing the recent improvements.
However, there's still no rush. "He needs to be gradually reintroduced now. He's been out of training for around five or six weeks. You wouldn't want to force him into a physical comeback," Eberl added.
Pavlovic last suited up for Bayern at the end of February and missed the Nations League games for the national team against Italy in March. If everything goes as planned, he could play a role in the decisive phase of the season, both in the Bundesliga title race and the Champions League. Moreover, Bayern will participate in the Club World Cup from June 15 to July 23 in the USA this summer.
So, keep your eyes peeled for this young talent's comeback! Bayern, stab in hand, marches on.
Tidbits:
- Glandular fever, also known as mononucleosis, can call for recovery periods that stretch beyond several months.

- Given the nature of his illness, experts predict his return will take place in late April at the earliest.
- Bayern is adopting a measured approach to Pavlovic's recovery, allowing him ample time without stress until he's ready to join team training.
