With Bayern Munich’s injury woes they registered an overwhelming victory over Freiburg (5-0). Julian Nagelsmann had a fantastic weekend. However, the fact that several players are experiencing aches and pains worries the coach. Likewise Noussair Mazraoui, who was given a starting berth but withdrew.
Mazraoui put in a great performance, but a pain stab forced him to leave the game in the 79th. At first it appeared as though he had a severe muscular injury, but Nagelsmann had good news to share regarding the former Ajax star. “His hamstrings were cramping. Simply put, we didn’t want to chance anything with him.
Bayern Munich’s injury woes: Update
Manuel Neuer was absent from the scene. The skipper was unable to play again on Sunday due to aches and pains that have been bothering him for some time. Nagelsmann gives Kicker his consent despite wanting it himself. His issue is that if he does not take painkillers, his range of motion is restricted. However, I don’t want him to use it constantly because that will simply exacerbate his injuries.
The goalkeeper’s issues were confirmed by the coach, who stated that without taking medications, the player is unable to move his shoulder. Due to Neuer’s inability to play, Sven Ulreich took action. He is unable to use his shoulder in the manner that a game requires. Pumping him full of pills all the time just to allow him to play is pointless.
Thomas Müller also had a disagreement with Freiburg. The veteran is a constant in the Bayern lineup as usual, but he also attracted criticism. Nagelsmann did not rule out playing in the cup game against FC Augsburg, though. “There is a possibility that he will play, but it is also possible that he won’t. I still haven’t worked it out in my thoughts. With Thomas, we must examine it day by day.
Along with the trio, there was also the matter of Leroy Sané. The attacker made an impression with his performance, scoring and adding an assist. But fifteen minutes from the finish line, he appeared to give up after suffering a significant muscle injury. Although the extent of this was not yet known, Sané is not expected to return to Germany.
