Xabi Alonso has hinted that Bayern Munich teammate Thiago Alcantara could be set for an early return to action [via Bavarianfootballworks.com].
Thiago, who hasn't played since March 2014 thanks to a knee injury, suffered further setbacks in May and October - ruling him out for an unspecified amount of time.
Matthias Sammer, the Bayern sporting director, said last month: "I'm not going to offer an opinion [on the injuries to Thaigo and Javi Martinez]. We'll give them all the time in the world, because all that matters is getting them fit again."
But in a recent fanclub visit Alonso let slip about a possible time-frame for his compatriot's recovery, revealing: "I am in contact with him, and he's making progress.
"He is running again, but he still has about one and a half months to go. It's important that he's 100% again."
That would hint at a possible return to action in the middle of March, but after a year on the sidelines it has been suggested that Bayern could take their time with Thiago in order to get him fit again for next season.
The Bundesliga champions did likewise with defender Holger Badstuber during the 2013-14 campaign.
