Bayern Munich boss Carlo Ancelotti has revealed Jerome Boateng is close to a return to the pitch but the game against Arsenal will be too early for the Ghanaian born German international.
Germany defender Boateng has been out of action since November after undergoing surgery on his pectoral tendon.
Ancelotti gave a positive update on Boateng’s fitness ahead of the Bundesliga leaders’ trip to Cologne on Saturday, with the former Manchester City man able to train at full capacity.
“All the players are fit. Hummels has no more problems,” he told a pre-match news conference.
“Also Boateng can train normally. It’s a good sign that all the players are fit.
“We think he [Boateng] can play against Frankfurt. Arsenal is probably too early.”
