Munich (AP) - FC Bayern is tackling the last game of the triple year after the successful world footballer election with extra momentum.
"I hope that this evening will set free one or the other, that we get everything we can," said coach Hansi Flick the day before the top Bundesliga game on Saturday (6.30pm / Sky) at league leaders Bayer Leverkusen.
Flick left it open on Friday noon whether Leon Goretzka, who was last ailing, and Joshua Kimmich, who had been injured since the beginning of November, would return.
For a long time, however, he no longer has to do without his midfield leader Kimmich after his meniscus operation.
«Together with the medical department, he has to decide how to proceed.
As a coach, I act accordingly, ”said Flick.
"He has a long career ahead of him, we want to minimize mistakes as much as possible."
Kimmich presented himself absolutely professionally in rehab, reported Flick.
The return of the national soccer player was originally planned for January.
It could go faster now.
In the long term, Flick trusts the midfielder to win the title in a world footballer election like Robert Lewandowski this year.
