Bundesliga
Return of a legend
Thomas Müller was back on the training pitches at Bayern Munich on Tuesday, working on his fitness as he ponders his next career move.
Müller spent 25 years at Bayern, before officially leaving his boyhood club at the end of their FIFA Club World Cup 2025 campaign in July.
The 35-year-old - who made a record 756 competitive appearances for the 33-time Bundesliga winners - has since teased a move to Major League Soccer, but nothing is set in stone yet.
In the meantime, the self-styled Raumdeuter continues to show why he remains one of the world game's model professionals, training individually as well as alongside his former Bayern teammates in pre-season.
It goes without saying Vincent Kompany's men were delighted to have Müller for company again as they prepare for their pre-season Telekom Cup friendly with Tottenham Hotspur at the Allianz Arena on 7 August.
The defending Bundesliga champions play Grasshopper Zurich on 12 August, before taking on DFB Cup holders VfB Stuttgart in the season-opening Franz Beckenbauer Supercup four days later. They kick off the new league campaign at home to RB Leipzig on 22 August.
