Impact Karl had been targeting a return for the first leg against PSG before missing the final training session ahead of that fixture, and his absence against Heidenheim is another frustrating setback in his recovery from a hamstring muscle fiber tear. The young playmaker is a key alternative option at number 10 for Bayern and coach Vincent Kompany clearly wants him available for the European stage, though the cautious approach signals the club will not push him back before he is genuinely ready. Wednesday's second leg at the Allianz Arena represents the next realistic target for his return.

Remains out against PSG Karl (hamstring) was not included in the squad for Tuesday's Champions League semifinal first leg against PSG after missing Monday's final training session, according to the club.

Impact Karl completed individual running work alongside Tom Bischof on Monday morning as part of his ongoing rehabilitation program, but he remains short of the level required to be considered for the matchday squad. The youngster had been targeting a return for the PSG fixture, making his absence a disappointing setback after showing encouraging progress in recent days. Coach Vincent Kompany will need to find alternatives in the attacking midfield role, with the double header against PSG representing one of the most important periods of Bayern Munich's season. His return timeline remains unclear, though the next opportunity to feature would come Saturday against Heidenheim.

Aiming return against PSG Karl (hamstring) completed his first ball work session Monday, just 11 days after suffering the muscle fiber tear, and is targeting a return for next Tuesday's Champions League sem...

Impact Karl was put through a 30-minute individual session with the ball at Sabener Strasse on Bayern's rest day, dribbling through mini cones and completing runs at various speeds alongside stabilization exercises, with his rehabilitation progress raising hopes of a return to the squad within eight days. The youngster is a crucial backup option at the number 10 position for manager Vincent Kompany, particularly with Serge Gnabry (adductor) now sidelined for approximately three months and Jamal Musiala still not at full capacity following his return from an ankle surgery. Getting Karl back for the PSG double header would give Bayern a vital alternative to Raphael Guerreiro in the playmaker role as they push for a historic European final.
