And the club goalkeeper captain Manuel Neuer confessed its an 'unusual' feeling to train in small groups.

"It was certainly a very unusual feeling holding a training session in small groups today, but it was also nice to see the boys in person again," the club's official website quoted the World Cup winner as saying.

"I'd like to thank the club and all the helpers who have made it possible for us to complete football-specific training on the pitch again during these difficult times."
