The 30-year-old has not played since he helped Germany to win the World Cup in Brazil in July because of a knee injury.
However, his appearance at Bayern's training ground has suggested that he is closing in on a return to action in the not too distant future.
The midfielder underwent a 30-minute session with fitness trainer Holger Broich.
