Breathe a sigh of relief on Säbener Strasse!
Jerome Boateng returned to FC Bayern training just three days after his knee injury.
The 32-year-old suffered a strained capsule in his left knee in the top game against Dortmund on Saturday.
Boateng trained with the team for half an hour on Tuesday and then jogged around the training ground for a quarter of an hour.
His teammates were visibly surprised by Boateng's lightning recovery.
His pals David Alaba, Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting, Leroy Sané and Alphonso Davies made fun of Boateng.
Alaba threw herself on the floor simulating the Boateng pain after Saturday's knee twisted.
Choupo-Moting imitated Boateng as he had to be supported by supervisors on the way to the cabin.
The stars laughed at each other, even coach Hansi Flick had to smile.
Boateng showed a sense of humor and, in turn, performed an acting role.
He also lay down on the floor and simulated Alaba's rib pain in the 7-2 win against Tottenham in the Champions League in October 2019.

Munich - For almost 70 minutes Jerome Boateng did his work largely calmly in Bayern's top game against Borussia Dortmund.
After two early goals by Erling Haaland, he and David Alaba didn't let much go.
But then the world champion from 2014 suddenly lay with a pained face on the lawn of the Allianz Arena - unfortunately a familiar image by now.
Without any enemy influence, Boateng got stuck in a defensive action in the lawn.
It was immediately clear that it couldn't go on.
Javi Martinez replaced the native of Berlin, who limped off the field supported by two team supervisors.
There coach Hansi Flick was already waiting, who informed himself immediately after the defense of the defense.
How severe the injury is was initially open.
A longer failure would be particularly bitter for Boateng because his future is still completely open.
The contract ends in summer, a decision on a possible extension is officially pending
