Bavaria, News: New Kimmich examinations next week

Despite his return from Corona quarantine, Joshua Kimmich will not appear for FC Bayern for the time being. The national player announced that via Instagram known. The reason for this is infiltrations in the lungs, which do not yet allow the 26-year-old to give 100 percent.

According to information from imageNewspaper, Kimmich’s lungs should therefore be thoroughly checked again in the coming week. Only when the water deposits found in a computed tomography are gone can he return to normal training.

Kimmich had tested positive for the corona virus two weeks ago and had therefore been in quarantine at home for 14 days. Before that, the national player had to be in isolation as a contact person. In particular, his lack of vaccination against the virus had been discussed again and again.

In the end it was a sad evening for us, but the moment was very special and the explosion and emotion in the Allianz Arena were unbelievable, “said Müller.

Grades: One shines in an unusual role – maximum penalty for Barca talent

1/32

FC Bayern closed their Champions League group with a win against FC Barcelona without losing points. Above all, the two wingers shone – and a substitute player in an unusual role. The grade and individual reviews.

2/32

MANUAL NEWER: Apart from a relatively harmless Alba shot in the initial phase and a Coutinho conclusion shortly before the end, not checked. Grade: 3.5.

3/32

BENJAMIN PAVARD: In the beginning I still had problems with the lively Dembele, but got a better grip on it as the game went on – and once made a strong rescue in the penalty area. Note 3.

4/32

DAYOT UPAMECANO: Improved compared to the error-prone appearance in Dortmund. This time Upamecano made no individual blunder. Even had the capacity to help the referee with his technical problems. Note 3.

5/32

NIKLAS SÜLE: Bring more physicality into Bayern’s game on his starting eleven comeback. Set positive accents in the building game. Grade: 2.5.

6/32

ALPHONSO DAVIES: Very present performance on the left wing. Davies showed a lot of pull forward, for example in the run-up to Musialas 3-0. Fought many duels and won the clear majority. Grade: 2.

7/32

CORENTIN TOLISSO: Took the position of the lower of the two sixes and always did well there. Strong game shifts alternated with too simple bad passes. Note 3.

8/32

JAMAL MUSIALA: Shone in an unusual role as part of a double six. Musiala conquered balls like in the 3rd and found good solutions under distress. In the 32nd he forgave from a promising position, later he made it 3-0. Grade: 2.

9/32

KINGSLEY COMAN: Had a tough time of the game, but showed excellent dribbling from the middle of the first half. His preparatory work for Musiala’s header chance in the 23rd, strong also his ball control before Sane’s long-range shot to make it 2-0. Grade: 2.

10/32

THOMAS MÜLLER: Because the Allianz Arena was empty, it was easy to hear again – but less likely to be seen. For this purpose, Müller invented the “headball lob” type of closure. Grade: 2.5.

11/32

LEROY SANE: He initiated the 1-0, the 2-0 he got himself with a fluttering distance shot. In the second half he missed two big chances relatively poorly. Again very committed in the game against the ball. Grade: 2.

12/32

ROBERT LEWANDOWSKI: Followed up well in the 3rd and provoked a yellow for Busquets. Great dance against Pique before Müller’s 1-0. He came closest to his own goal in the 28th, when Ter Stegen just got his hand in between. Note 3.

13/32

MARC ROCA: Came in the 60th for Tolisso and therefore for his second competitive game of the season. Had no problems in the central midfield against his harmless compatriots. Grade: 3.5.

14/32

OMAR RICHARDS: Substituted for Davies on the left for just under 20 minutes. He saw a yellow card for a rude foul against Araujo. No rating.

15/32

BOUNA SARR: Came as right-winger for Coman, but hardly set any accents in an unfamiliar position. No rating.

16/32

TANGUY NIANZOU: Was allowed to participate in the final phase instead of Süle. No rating.

17/32

MALIK TILLMAN: He came on for Lewandowski and made his third competitive appearance of the season. No rating.

18/32

MARC-ANDRE TER STEGEN: Started the evening with a bad pass (3rd), saved with his fingertips from Lewandowski (28th), duped von Müller with his head (34th), missed Sane’s flutter ball and looked old (43. ). Used day. Grade: 5.

19/32

RONALD ARAUJO: Against the nimble Davies with a lack of speed – like before the 0: 3 (62nd). Saw yellow early on (16th), only caught Müller’s arc lamp behind the line (34th). Grade: 6.

20/32

GERARD PIQUE: Before the 0: 1 against Lewandowski a bit stiff on the hips and too big a safety margin (34th). Otherwise overwhelmed against Bavaria’s offensive. Grade: 5.5.

21/32

CLEMENT LENGLET: When Müller’s goal was too passive (34th), there was little in general to do against Bayern’s offensive power. Grade: 5.

22/32

JORDI ALBA: Got to deal with Coman on his left side, but the veteran had to go out after almost half an hour because of a thigh injury. Grade: 4.

23/32

FRENKIE DE JONG: Not really in the game, made too many simple mistakes. A little more committed after the break. Grade: 5.

24/32

SERGIO BUSQUETS: Had to iron out Ter Stegen’s bad pass at the expense of a yellow card (3rd) and was hit on the head in the subsequent Sane free kick. Only gave a few impulses. Grade: 5.

25/32

GAVI: The highly talented midfield youngster had no access to the game at all, tunneled by Sane (54th). Paid the hardship. Grade: 5.

26/32

SERGINO DEST: At the beginning actively involved in the offensive pressing, but then dived and stayed in the dressing room for the break. Grade: 5.

27/32

MEMPHIS DEPAY: Something was hanging in the air, was accidentally but painfully hit in the ankle by Upamecano (24th). After the break a little more active, but hapless. Grade: 4.5.

28/32

OUSMANE DEMBELE: The ex-Dortmund initially caused a stir on the left wing, but often received little support from his colleagues. Got bogged down more often. Grade: 4.5.

29/32

OSCAR MINGUEZA: Replaced the injured Alba after a good half an hour – and lost out on Müller’s goal (34th). Completely overwhelmed against Coman. Grade: 5.5.

30/32

NICO GONZALEZ: Came into play for Dest in the second half. But he didn’t succeed much either. Grade: 4.5.

31/32

PHILIPPE COUTINHO: Was allowed to do something for Dembele at the old place of work from the 73rd minute. No rating.

32/32

RICI PUIG: Came in the 73rd minute for Frenkie de Jong. No rating.
