Zaragoza returns, Neuer and Mazraoui sit out, Sané exits early
Bayern Munich returned to a full team training on Monday where mostly everyone participated — including Bryan Zaragoza, who has been sick for about a week.
Surely, head coach Thomas Tuchel was happy to have the Spaniard back in the mix:

While Bryan Zaragoza returned to team training, Manuel Neuer and Noussair Mazraoui took a break (load management).
Meanwhile, Neuer hit the gym for a workout instead of testing his knee further with team training:

One other takeaway from training is that Leroy Sané did not complete the full session. Per Bild, he did not appear to be hurt, but did take an early exit:

Taking a rest might not be the worst thing for the Germany international, who has looked tired and frustrated of late. With Tuchel unwilling to rest Sané for games, taking the day (or at least part of the day) off from training, might be as good as it gets for the 28-year-old.
