Live broadcast on August 4th news Mueller had not followed Bayern for Asian tour due to hip muscle problems. In the new issue of communication email to fans, he revealed that he had suffered similar troubles several months ago, but the good recovery situation made him full of confidence.
At the end of last month, when Bayern held a training camp in Lake Tegan, Muller withdrew early due to injury. Since then, he has conducted personal training on Sebena Street. Muller wrote: “Unfortunately, the training camp ended with me three days after the beginning.”
“After consulting with the coach and the medical department, I had to slow down. In my career, this is the first time that I have not participated in the preparation from the beginning.”
Regarding his injury, Muller revealed: “in April and May, I had already struggled on similar issues and clenched my teeth to stick to it. Unfortunately, this problem is now coming back. Therefore, it is very important to calm down and recover and completely get rid of the inflammatory state. In this way, I can attack without pain.”
Muller: “So far, the rehabilitation method has been very effective, so I am as confident as ever. Of course, when the players participating in Asian Games are already playing their first game, it is not easy for people like me to sit quietly and watch. However, my years of professional player experience will definitely help me.”
The 33-year-old veteran also stressed: “My rehabilitation is not only lying on the sofa, but also I will conduct very special fitness training. The situation is getting better day by day. We should pay special attention to which part of muscle tissue can make the body load and relax correctly. I feel that I have received the best care from Bayern’s medical and physical therapy team.”
Earlier German media reported that Mueller would rejoin the team to practice when Bayern returned to Munich to continue preparations. Bayern started training this Saturday and will have the last warm-up match with Monaco next Monday. Next Saturday, Bayern will play the De Chao Cup with Leipzig at home.
