Trains individually Monday
Pavlovic (calf) resumed individual training Monday at Bayern Munich's training facility after missing Sunday's Bundesliga clash against Freiburg due to calf discomfort and feeling unwell, according to the club.
Analysis: Pavlovic has taken a positive step toward returning to competitive action after being rested for Sunday's encounter against Freiburg. The German midfielder had been dealing with calf discomfort following Wednesday's Champions League draw against Arsenal, during which he started alongside Tom Bischof, prompting Bayern to take a cautious approach to his fitness. He was also reportedly feeling unwell ahead of Sunday's fixture, further contributing to his absence from the matchday squad. However, Pavlovic was able to complete an individual training session Monday at Sabener Strasse, suggesting he is making progress toward full fitness. His availability for Wednesday's DFB-Pokal clash against Magdeburg remains uncertain, with a return to full team training likely necessary before he can be considered for selection. Bayern will also be hoping to have him available for Saturday's Bundesliga encounter against Borussia Dortmund, particularly given Joshua Kimmich's recent absence from midfield.
Out of squad for Freiburg trip
Pavlovic will not be in the squad for Sunday's match at Freiburg, as Bayern Munich are resting him due to calf problems and do not want to take any risks, per Sky Sport.
Analysis: Pavlovic is being rested for Sunday's match at Freiburg because of calf problems, after starting alongside Tom Bischof in Wednesday's Champions League match against Arsenal. With Joshua Kimmich also unavailable, Bayern Munich have no obvious direct replacement in central midfield, though Konrad Laimer, Bara Sapoko Ndiaye and Ismael Saibari could all line up next to Bischof. The decision appears precautionary, and Pavlovic could return for the DFB-Pokal tie at Magdeburg on Wednesday or the visit of Borussia Dortmund next Saturday.
