Bayern Munich’s Joshua Kimmich KO’d by illness

Joshua Kimmich is OUT…

When Bayern Munich’s starting lineup dropped ahead of its match against Werder Bremen there was one glaring omission — central midfielder Joshua Kimmich.

Per Tz journalist Philipp Kessler (via @iMiaSanMia), Kimmich is ill:

Joshua Kimmich has been sick in the past few days. Yesterday he was only able to complete parts of team training.

Tom Bischof and Leon Goretzka will start in the central midfield for Bayern Munich.


Bayern Munich news shot back in action this week after a bit of a lull, so let’s take a look at the biggest stories.

This is what we have on tap for this edition of the Bavarian Podcast Works — Weekend Warm-up Show:

  • News broke this week that Harry Kane will have to let Bayern Munich know he wants to leave next summer during the winter transfer window — giving the club ample notice to find a successor. Will it happen? Will this be a distraction? How realistic is that Kane opts to sign an extension with Bayern? Tottenham Hotspur, Manchester United, Arsenal, Chelsea, Newcastle United, Real Madrid, and FC Barcelona all want him.
  • Real Madrid is rumored to have strong interest in Michael Olise. Should fans be worried?
  • Jerome Boateng retired last week and fans were conflicted about how to feel. Let’s discuss the complex topic of admiring a player’s athletic feats, while being put off by their off-the-field actions.
  • Josip Stanišić was almost sold to Juventus (!?).
  • Reviewing the latest episode of HBO’s Task.
