Bayern Munich's German international Jens Jeremies, who has been out of action for five months through injury, returned to training today.

The 27-year-old midfielder, who has undergone two operations on his injured right knee, refused to put a date on when he may return to action for the European champions.

Jeremies's return could prove to be a huge boost for Germany who face Ukraine in their World Cup qualifying play-off over two legs next month.
