Bayern Munich midfielder Joshua Kimmich has rarely rested during this Hinrunde and — maybe — that is starting to catch up to him.
Last month, he was nursing an ailment with the German national team, but
now he is rumored to operating with an injured ankle — something that kept him out of practice this week. Given that, Kimmich could — at least start the game on the bench (as for why he would even play at all, well, that is a whole different question).
So…will this finally be the game where we see Tom Bischof and Aleksandar Pavlović start together in the central midfield? Pavlović looks to have locked up the second central midfield starting position, but Bischof has barely been used in the center of the park. Instead, head coach Vincent Kompany has preferred to use him out of position at left-back.
Sure, Leon Goretzka could get the nod, but is this it? Will we see Bischof and Pavlović start together? Tell us why it will or why it won’t happen in the comments below!
