Jerome Boateng is expected to be fit in time for Bayern Munich's Bundesliga opener against Werder Bremen.
Bayern Munich expects Jerome Boateng to be fit for the new Bundesliga season after confirming he sustained a thigh injury in Germany's Euro 2016 semifinal defeat to France.
Boateng pulled up injured in the second half of the 2-0 defeat to Les Bleus and it was initially feared the center back would be missing by the time the champions face Werder Bremen in their season opener on Aug. 26.
However, the Bavarians - who will be coached by Carlo Ancelotti this season - are confident the 27-year-old will be ready in time to feature.
