Bayern Munich defender Dayot Upamecano has returned to partial training ahead of the Champions League return leg against Inter Milan.
According to German outlet Klassiker via FCInterNews, the French center-back is on the brink of regaining full fitness.
Despite several unenviable European performances in recent seasons, Upamecano has been crucial to Bayern this term.
Indeed, Vincent Kompany has heavily relied on the 26-year-old, making him the Bavarians’ defensive mainstay.
Meanwhile, Inter made Upamecano’s absence heavily felt last night as they beat the Bundesliga powerhouse 2-1 in Munich.

Former Napoli star Kim Min-jae failed to live up to the billing.
Indeed, Lautaro Martinez humbled the South Korean defender on a number of occasions.
Therefore, Upamecano’s return from injury cannot come soon enough for the runaway Bundesliga leaders.
However, they will still gravely miss standout playmaker Jamal Musiala at the San Siro.
The prodigious youngster has been Bayern’s driving force in the final third, but he’s out with a muscle issue.
