Bayern Munich goalkeeper Manuel Neuer and winger Leroy Sané returned to Bayern Munich team training on Monday, according to broadcasters Sky.

Both players were rested against Cologne on Saturday, but are expected to be available for the Champions League quarter-final return leg against Arsenal on Wednesday.
The tie is locked at 2-2 and the Champions League is Bayern’s last chance at silverware this season after Bayer Leverkusen ended the Bavarians’ 11-year reign as Bundesliga champions on Sunday.

Munich Showdown Perfect Game to Hit Back -Arsenal's Rice

But Arsenal’s Declan Rice believes the return leg is the “perfect” game for Arsenal to overcome defeat to Aston Villa.

The Gunners were beaten 2-0 by Unai Emery’s men at the Emirates Stadium on Sunday afternoon as Leon Bailey and Ollie Watkins scored the goals to boost Villa’s top-four hopes.

Arsenal would have returned to the Premier League summit with a win but now sit second, two points behind reigning champions Manchester City.

They travel to Germany for the second leg of their finely-poised Champions League quarter-final against Bayern.
