Bayern Munich duo doubtful of last game of the year
The head coach of Bayern Munich Thomas Tuchel has revealed that Joshua Kimmich and Leon Goretzka are unlikely to be fit in time for Wednesday’s final Bundesliga game of the year at VfL Wolfsburg, having struggled with the flu in recent days.
In a press conference, coach Thomas Tuchel expressed concerns on the injury situation and prayed that the duo become fit for the subsequent matches.
“We hope that no other player is added on the list. With Leon and Joshua it is an hourly update at the moment, We hope they can make it but it will be tight. We are flying out tomorrow morning. It will be very tight.”
Bayern have a string of absences and the pair had also missed their 3-0 win over VfB Stuttgart on Sunday.
The Bavarians, who face Lazio in the Champions League last 16 in February, are currently in second place in the Bundesliga with a game in hand and four points behind leaders Bayer Leverkusen who have 39. Leverkusen host VfL Bochum on Wednesday.
The league will break after Wednesday’s matches and will resume on Jan. 12.
