"It was a test of his fitness. He managed the program well and I think he’ll play a full part again," Michael Henke, Bayern's assistant coach, was quoted as saying by the club website on Saturday.

He suffered a knock in the knee during his side's victory over Bayer Leverkusen last month and was sidelined ever since.

Klose joined Bayern from rivals Werder Bremen over the summer and had an immediate impact with the Bavarians.

He scored eight times and dished out four assists in just seven appearances, teaming up well with Italian international Luca Toni.

Bayern lead the Bundesliga table with 23 points, five ahead of impressive new-comers Karlsruher.
