Still hasn't returned Choupo-Moting is questionable for Friday's match against Leverkusen, according to manager Thomas Tuchel.

Impact Choupo-Moting's status for Bayern's game against Leverkusen is still questioned as he has yet to return from international duty with Cameroon. If he returns in time, he will likely only be a bench option anyway, with Harry Kane taking over his starting role from last season.

Only two appearances Choupo-Moting only made two bench appearances before the international break.

Impact Choupo-Moting has fallen out of the starting XI as Harry Kane was brought into the team in the Summer. Choupo-Moting is back to the same role he had behind Robert Lewandowski - consistent bench appearances and rotation in cup competitions.

Available off bench Friday Choupo-Moting (knee) is on the bench for Friday's match against Werder Bremen.

Impact Choupo-Moting resumed training before the Super Cup last week, and while he didn't make the bench in the 3-0 loss to Leipzig, he will be available in this one. He's expected to operate as Harry Kane's primary backup and should see a few starts here and there, but his role should be minor compared to the one he had in 2022-23.

Back to team training Choupo-Moting (knee) returned to team training Wednesday ahead of Saturday's DFL Supercup match versus Leipzig.

Impact Choupo-Moting has returned to team training after missing out on preseason matches with a knee injury. It will be a stretch if the forward will play Saturday, but if he does, he could come off the bench at minimum.

Unlucky with injuries Choupo-Moting made 19 starts in 26 appearances in all competitions, recording 14 goals and two assists in 46 shots (25 on target) this season.

Impact Choupo-Moting's season would of ended better if it was not for injuries keeping him on the sidelines. He was at a point the team's top scorer, but then was forced to miss matches with a knee injury. The question heading into the new season is if the forward can stay healthy to keep a consistent spot in the starting XI, with Serge Gnabry the likely favorite for that spot unless he improves his fitness and form during preseason.

Impact Choupo-Moting plugged straight back into Bayern's XI up front on Wednesday after recovering from a knee injury, but he looked like a player who was making just his third appearance in all competitions since early March as he had some dangerous moments but wasn't able to add to his season tally of four goals in the Champions League. He will hope to get back to form an fitness quickly as his club still has to fend off a resurgent Dortmund side in order to retain the Bundesliga title down the stretch of this season.

Game-time call Choupo-Moting (knee) will be a game-time call for Wednesday's Champions League clash with Manchester City, according to manager Thomas Tuchel.

Impact Choupo-Moting trained Tuesday but will need to see how his knee reacts to the training and warm up. The striker would lead the attack if at all fit as Munich seek a miraculous comeback. Choupo-Moting has scored 10 Bundesliga goals in 14 starts, and has earned the top job as a sole striker.

The team do not want to rush his return against Hoffenheim, rather they are aiming for a return for the second leg of the Champions League quarterfinals against Manchester City on Wednesday. This means that Thomas Muller will move up to striker, with Kingsley Coman, Serge Gnabry and Jamal Musiala the likely pair in the offensive midfield against Hoffenheim.
