Will Thomas Müller fit in time for the World Cup?
There seems to be a possibility that he will make his comeback just before the big tournament.
Munich – After all, Thomas Müller is already doing his rounds again.
On Wednesday, the offensive star, who was recently plagued by illness and injury, was spotted at FC Bayern's training ground on Säbener Straße.
However, the national player's rehabilitation program only included a running unit.
Because of his problems with the adductor muscles, there is nothing more to think about at the moment, reports the

Müller is working on his comeback - setback could have fatal consequences
The German record champions want to lead Müller back to a comeback with the necessary patience and not risk a step backwards in the healing process.
The time until the start of the World Cup is already pressing - on November 23, the German team will be in action in the first group game of the preliminary round against Japan (2 p.m.).
Müller's comeback plan is sewn on edge - a setback in the rehabilitation process would probably have fatal consequences and would thwart the 33-year-old's plans for the World Cup.
There has been confusion about Müller's injury status in recent days.
Müller himself and the FCB officials around Oliver Kahn and Hasan Salihamidzic gave rather positive signals after the 6-2 win over Mainz.
The tenor: The World Cup is not in danger.
According to a
Spiegel
research, however, the situation is said to be more serious and there is a question mark behind the World Cup.
According to the media report, other players in the Bayern squad should also be worried about Müller.
Bayern coach Julian Nagelsmann recently commented on Müller's injury.
Müller's comeback will probably be against Schalke at the earliest
The pictures of Müller's running unit on Wednesday give hope that Müller will be fit in time for the tournament in Qatar and, in the best case, can even play a competitive game for Bayern.
According to
kicker
, Müller's comeback can be expected at the earliest in the game against Schalke.
The encounter in Gelsenkirchen is scheduled for November 12 and will be the last Bundesliga match day before the World Cup.
The games against Hertha BSC next weekend and on Tuesday against Werder Bremen are probably too early.
