Bayern Munich forward Sadio Mane trained with the ball for the first time in three months on Wednesday, two weeks before the club’s crucial Paris Saint-Germain clash.
Mane, 30, took part in Tuesday’s morning session a week after returning to the training ground.
Mane injured a tendon in his leg and required surgery during his side’s 6-1 win over Werder Bremen in November, ruling him out of Senegal’s World Cup campaign in Qatar.
Bayern travel to Paris for the first leg of their Champions League last-16 tie on February 14, with the return leg in Munich on March 8.
Bayern manager Julian Nagelsmann previously said he “wouldn’t trust” the African Player of the Year to be available for the first leg.
Mane, who joined Bayern from Liverpool in the summer of 2022, has scored 11 goals in 23 games in all competitions this year.
