Bayern Munich's acquisition of Jonah Kusi-Asare grabbed headlines in February, primarily due to the â¬4.5 million transfer fee, an unusually high amount for the club to spend on a youth player.
The 17-year-old Swedish forward showed promise early on, netting three goals and providing one assist in six appearances before an unfortunate ankle injury sidelined him in April.
Kusi-Asare's injury required surgery, but he demonstrated resilience in his recovery process.
According to journalist Kerry Hau, the young talent has been diligently working on his comeback. He recently resumed running training and used his downtime to strengthen his upper body.
If all goes well, Kusi-Asare is expected to return to team training in three weeks, initially joining the U-19 and U-23 squads.
Christoph Freund, Bayern's sporting director, played a crucial role in bringing Kusi-Asare to Munich and has maintained regular communication with the young player.
Freund's support has been instrumental in Kusi-Asare's journey, keeping his spirits high and focused on the future.
Kusi-Asare is said to be eager to make a significant impact in the upcoming season and catch the eye of Bayern's head coach, Vincent Kompany.
Although missing pre-season has been a setback, his determination to recover and perform at his best remains unwavering.
Bayern consider Kusi-Asare an elite talent, and his recovery marks a positive step forward for both the player and the club.
