Bayern Munich captain Manuel Neuer is winning his race to be fit for his side’s Champions League quarter-final against Arsenal on Tuesday.
The Germany skipper has been sidelined for the last fortnight with an adductor injury, which has seen him miss two club matches.
Bayern were beaten by Heidenheim on Saturday, having been 2-0 up against the Bundesliga minnows.
Thomas Tuchel’s side are underdogs going into their clash at the Emirates.
But Neuer trained on Sunday, and he’s got one more training session to come through in order to put himself in contention for Tuesday.

But the likes of Kingsley Coman, Leroy Sané, Aleks Pavlović and Nous Mazraoui could all miss the trip to London.
Coman has a muscular injury, while Sane is suffering with a bruised bone.
Pavlovic is ill, and is the most likely to come through for the trip to the capital.
Arsenal beat Brighton 3-0 on Saturday, with goals from Bukayo Saka, Kai Havertz and Leandro Trossard.
Saka came through a late fitness test for the trip to the south coast.
