Bayern Munich have confirmed Philipp Lahm will be part of their 18-man squad for Wednesday’s UEFA Champions League tie with Shakhtar Donetsk, 16 weeks after the club captain fractured his right ankle.
Lahm was injured in a training session on November 18 and has been gradually working his way back to full fitness.
Ahead of the second leg of Bayern’s last-16 clash with Shakhtar, the Bundesliga champions revealed Lahm would be available to coach Pep Guardiola.
A tweet from Bayern read: “Great news: Philipp #Lahm is in #FCBayern’s 18-man squad today for the first time in 16 weeks since fracturing his ankle!”
The first leg between Bayern and Shakhtar, which took place in Lviv, finished goalless.
