Badstuber hopeful injury woes behind him

Bayern Munich defender Holger Badstuber is hopeful his injury woes are behind him for good after making his comeback in Wednesday's 3-1 DFB-Pokal win over Augsburg.

The centre-back had last featured for the Bavarians in their cup win over Bochum on February 10 and had since been out of action due to an ankle injury and a muscular problem.

"It was pure emotion, even though it was not the first time I made a comeback like this," the 27-year-old told reporters after receiving a standing ovation from the fans.

"I enjoy being welcomed like this. I am very happy. Of course you absorb the atmosphere. It gives you goosebumps, you do not forget it.

"This was the last time I have to make a comeback after a lengthy spell on the sidelines. I have faith in my body."
