Serge Gnabry, who missed out on Germany's World Cup squad through injury, has taken another step on his road to recovery by completing an individual training session at club Bayern Munich.

The 30-year-old suffered a torn adductor muscle in his right thigh in mid-April. On Tuesday, he did some running and mobility exercises, while even working with the ball under the supervision of rehabilitation coach Simon Martinello, the club said.

Bayern begin pre-season training in a month, the day after the World Cup final on July 19. Most World Cup participants will be given extra holiday and can join up with Bayern at a later date.

The German double winners visit South Korea and Hong Kong on their pre-season tour August 1-8 before returning to competitive action in the Franz Beckenbauer Super Cup against Borussia Dortmund on August 22.
