Thomas Müller has problems again and will not be available to FC Bayern in the next two games. He should return against Hertha BSC – as does Manuel Neuer.
The Raumdeuter just doesn’t want to get going in the last few weeks. After he was repeatedly slowed down by various injuries or illnesses (corona, muscular problems, gastrointestinal flu), Müller had struggled with his body: “I’m not used to that. I’m used to my body working – and he’s only been doing that in stop-and-go mode for the last few weeks and that’s of course not satisfactory,” said the 33-year-old this week AZ.
Müller’s body is currently in stop mode again, because Julian Nagelsmann revealed before the game against FSV Mainz (Saturday, 3:30 p.m.) that his vice-captain has to take a break again. “He’s got irritation in his hip again, in the pelvic area. He won’t be able to play,” said the Bayern coach, who emphasized that Müller probably won’t play against Inter on the last day of the Champions League either: “We have to probably take a week off to give him a break.”
“We sat down this morning. Painkillers don’t work either. It blocks and stings a bit,” Nagelsmann continued (via tz). “We have to calm things down now, then we’ll see if it’s on [folgenden] The weekend works.” Thus, at the earliest, Müller is again an issue for the squad in the away game at Hertha BSC (Saturday, November 5).
Munich’s second problem child is Manuel Neuer, who has to pause against both Mainz and Inter. “Of course, Manuel Neuer is still out. We’re looking forward to next weekend,” Nagelsmann also aimed for his goalkeeper to return against Hertha. “I want him to come back quickly. The shoulder is a complicated joint that needs rest. I really believe he’ll play the World Cup. We’re doing everything for it, but that’s all I know.”
Apart from the duo and the other well-known failures (Hernandez, Sané and Sarr), the rest of the team should be ready for action: “Usually everyone except Thomas Müller, who played in the Champions League, is fit tomorrow,” said Nagelsmann, who reminded that Bayern didn’t look good against Mainz last season: “We played two bad games against Mainz last season. The situation in the table alone motivates us a lot to do better tomorrow.”
Bayern had won the first leg in Munich 2-1 – in the second leg they lost 3-1 to the 05ers.
