Pavlovic declares himself fully fit after Leverkusen cameo

Aleksandar Pavlovic has insisted he’s fully fit again after making his injury comeback against Bayer Leverkusen.

Bayern Munich welcomed back Aleksandar Pavlovic from a broken collarbone when he came off the bench in Tuesday’s 0-1 DFB-Pokal defeat against Bayer Leverkusen.

Speaking to Bild after the game, the Germany international revealed that he’s back to full fitness.

“I’m fully fit again. I have no problems, nothing. I’m very happy,” said Pavlovic.

“I’m doing everything I can to get back into the starting eleven. I’ll do my best and we’ll see.

“I was very, very happy when I came on. Obviously we wanted to get an equaliser, so it was a very bitter evening. I thought we played the whole game very, very well with ten men. We showed character and played a good game. And yes, it was very bitter to concede the goal.”

Pavlovic was a regular in central midfield until he broke his collarbone in October. 

With Joao Palhinha out injured, Leon Goretzka has recently partnered Joshua Kimmich in the middle of the park.
