Gotze scored in the 52nd minute before being substituted by Franck Ribery in the 64th minute of Saturday's 3-1 win over Hamburg SV.

Gotze has found the back of the net in three straight games, two of which came in Bundesliga play and another in the Champions League. The 21-year old now has seven goals in all competitions for Bayern, as well as five assists.

Gotze scored in the 90th minute of Bayern Munich's 7-0 win over Werder Bremen on Saturday.

Gotze continues to grow his importance to the Bayern attack, scoring twice in his last three Bundesliga matches, plus another Champions League score. He has started seven of the last eight matches in all competitions for the German giant and remains a solid fantasy producer.

Gotze came on for Mario Mandzukic in the 56th minute and then scored in the 66th of Bayern Munich's 3-0 win over Borussia Dortmund on Saturday.

Gotze, playing against his old club for the first time since he left after last season, was surprisingly on the bench to start the match, although that didn't stop him from making a huge impact. There is a ton of talent on the Bayern Munich roster, although Gotze seems close to more regular playing time.

Gotze did not start the match but came on in the 24th minute for Toni Kroos, who was forced from the game with a groin injury. Kroos isn't expected to miss any additional games, so Gotze's opportunity for additional playing time is still a bit limited. That being said, he's played well as of late and could at least get a few opportunities in the short-term.

Gotze (ankle), who came on after halftime for Rafinha, assisted on Arjen Robben's 50th minute goal and then on Mario Mandzukic's in the 69th of Saturday's 4-1 win over Mainz.

Gotze has battled a few different injuries since last May but he seems to finally be coming into his own at Bayern. His two assists were his first in Bundesliga play this year, which includes only four appearances for the young German. He doesn't appear ready to crack the Starting XI, but a few more solid appearances may force manager Pep Guardiola's hand.

Gotze has returned to training after missing three weeks with an ankle injury, Bundesliga.com reports.

It's unclear if Gotze will immediately be thrown into action, which could come soon, as Bayern face Hannover 96 in the German Cup on Wednesday and then host VfL Wolfsburg in Bundesliga play Saturday.

Gotze (leg) is expected to return to team training in the next few days, according to Bundesliga.com.

Gotze has not played for Bayern since their UEFA Super Cup Victory over Chelsea on August 30. He struggled to find a consistent spot in the lineup before he suffered the injury, although it's certainly encouraging that the 21-year old could be back on the pitch shortly.
