Bayern Munich midfielder Tom Bischof is participating in segments of team training and working to get ready for the Hamburger SV match this weekend after undergoing an appendectomy.
That untimely ailment probably came at the worst time for the former Hoffenheim star, though, as Kicker (via @iMiaSanMia) is reporting that Bischof will not be in consideration for a starting role…yet:
Tom Bischof is expected to make his comeback in the squad against HSV on Saturday. Vincent Kompany will have all four central
midfielders available for the first time this season. While Joshua Kimmich is undisputed, Bischof will most likely start on the bench. The second midfield spot will be decided between Leon Goretzka and Aleksandar Pavlović.
Timing is everything and as competition was heating up, Bischof was felled by that bout with appendicitis. The youngster still have time to prove himself, but Vincent Kompany is not exactly a coach with a strong track record of rotation. If Bischof is going to get on the field, he will have to be a top performer in each and every training session.
