The German Football League recommended clubs should not train until Sunday April 5 and Bayern announced their players would return to their training base from Monday.First-team stars Robert Lewandowski and Kingsley Coman were among the stars seen entering Bayern's facility on Monday morning. Manuel Neuer, Jerome Boateng, Thomas Muller and Philippe Coutinho were also among Monday's group returning to action at the Saebener Strasse training ground.

The German top flight has been on hold since March 13 due to the COVID-19 pandemic that has caused havoc with the sporting calendar.
A total of 100,132 cases of coronavirus have been confirmed in Germany, with 1,584 deaths from the illness, as of April 5.In their statement on Sunday, Bayern said: 'The FC Bayern Munich first team will return to training in small groups from Monday, 6 April.
'This will be done in coordination with government policy and the relevant authorities. It goes without saying that all hygiene regulations will be strictly observed.
'Training will take place with no members of the public present.
'In order to further slow the spread of the coronavirus, FC Bayern asks fans to continue to follow the instructions of the authorities and therefore please do not come to the FC Bayern training ground.'Before the season's suspension, Bayern were thriving in both domestic competitions and the Champions League.
They sit top of the Bundesliga with nine games to go, four points ahead of rivals Borussia Dortmund in second.
Hans-Dieter Flick's side were also on the verge of reaching the Champions League quarter-finals, having beaten Chelsea 3-0 in the first leg of their last-16 tie, before the second leg was postponed.
