Thomas Muller
36-Year-Old
Vancouver Whitecaps FC
MLS
On bench Wednesday
Muller (illness) is on the bench for the midweek meeting with FC Dallas.
ANALYSIS
Muller has made a gradual return to training over the past couple of weeks, and he's now expected to be involved as a substitute before moving into the initial lineup at some point in future contests. The former Bayern Munich star was in good form prior to his injury, as he generated multiple shots and chances created in four straight appearances while scoring two goals and assisting once over that period. His eventual inclusion in upcoming games could be in a No. 10 role at the expense of Jeevan Singh Badwal.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Not expected to return to Bayern
Bayern Munich have decided against handing Muller a new contract, but the attacking midfielder could continue his career in the MLS, according to Sky Sports Germany.
ANALYSIS
There's no question that Bayern's decision not to hand Muller a new contract was a shocking outcome, but the 35-year-old could move to the United States in the summer. There should be several MLS clubs with enough funds to sign him as a Designated Player.
