Bayern Munich wing - back David Alaba is making good progress in his bid to return to full fitness.

The 22- year - old tore his knee ligaments while playing a friendly for Austria against Bosnia and Herzegovina at the end of March, and that injury ought to keep him out of action for at least seven weeks.

Now, Alaba has started individual training under the guidance of fitness coach Thomas Wilhelmi, writes sport1.de on its website.

On Thursday, for the first time since he was injured, the Austria national - teamer took part in running sessions.

The world class full - back was linked with a switch to Real Madrid before his spell on the sidelines.
