He can, however, still participate in first-team training and head coach Hansi Flick is expected to integrate him over the next eight weeks.

Flick was reportedly the driving force behind signing Dantas and pushed his name to the Bayern board ‘on several occasions’.

Bayern return to domestic action against FC Düren in the DFB Pokal on October 15, before travelling to Arminia Bielefeld on October 17.
