After debut against Salzburg: Blind in the start of the second half of the season?

Daley Blind was not allowed to play in the friendly against (4:4) from the start, but was substituted on for Josip Stanisic in the 63rd minute. The Dutchman spoke after his debut in the Bayern jersey and showed himself ready for the upcoming tasks.

With Daley Blind, he signed a reliable player for little money as a replacement for Lucas Hernández, who was injured in the cruciate ligament. The 32-year-old was able to offer a first taste in the friendly against Salzburg. After being substituted on, he helped to stabilize the somewhat shaky defense and kept things tight in the final half hour until they conceded to make it 4-4 in the 89th minute.

Blind feels fit: starting eleven against Leipzig?

Daley Blind was still a little hesitant after his test match debut, but seems to have acclimatized quite well. “It’s still a bit difficult to say where I stand at the moment. The training camp definitely helped me. I was able to get to know my colleagues,” explained the winter newcomer after the game.

It is not yet clear whether the player will be in the starting XI at the start of the second half of the season. In principle, Upamecano and de Ligt are of course set, but his Dutch compatriot missed Salzburg due to injury. If de Ligt doesn’t get fit in time, it will end in a duel between Stanisic and Blind, in which the veteran should have the better cards. From the point of view of the 32-year-old, nothing stands in the way of an assignment. “I feel fit and ready for the upcoming tasks,” he clarified. Bayern can count themselves lucky to have such a reliable and experienced man.
