FC Bayern win the Bundesliga’s top game against Borussia Dortmund. But while record champions can expect three points and the championship lead, they also have to worry about one of their key players.
German soccer champion FC Bayern Munich is concerned about national player Joshua Kimmich. The midfielder apparently injured his knee more seriously in the header game against Borussia Dortmund (3-2) on Saturday and had to be replaced. With the support of two supervisors, Kimmich left the field. Initially there was no precise diagnosis. “There is no reason to report the water level,” coach Hansi Flick said on the Sky broadcaster.
Kimmich suffered the injury when he fouled BVB forward Erling Haaland, for which he also received a yellow card. Last season, the best player Kimmich decided the best match in Dortmund with his goal. “He is one of our key players in this position,” emphasized Flick: “A failure would not be so easy for us to deal with.” The daily “Bild” reported that the suspicion was in the direction of a ligament injury, but there is no announcement from FC Bayern. “I did hyperextension of the knee. It doesn’t look good at all,” the international told his teammates at halftime.
Kimmich should start the trip back to Munich with the team. “I hope for Josh, for Bayern, for the DFB, that he comes out of the number reasonably fit. He’s a footballer and a great guy,” said former Bayern pro Mats Hummels. “Even if I didn’t see the scene, Josh’s reaction didn’t look good. Holding your knees is always bad.” Kimmich’s teammate, Leon Goretzka, hopes the injury isn’t that bad: “The Jo has stable ligaments and good healing meat. Let’s keep our fingers crossed for him.
