+++ Nagelsmann about Yann Sommer +++
“I’m extremely happy with him. He’s adapting very well. It’s a special game for him, of course. But he’ll still have a good game.”
+++ Nagelsmann about Noussair Mazraoui +++
“He will return to team training on Wednesday.”
+++ Nagelsmann about Upamecano +++
For him it was just a stress control. He and Kimmich will train normally again. It’s nothing bad, there’s no risk of both players failing on Saturday.”
+++ Nagelsmann on the death of Tim Lobinger +++
“First of all, my condolences to his family. I don’t know him that well, but I got to know him as a very warm person who unfortunately had to struggle with this shitty illness for a long time. Kimmich knew him very well and was therefore absent from training yesterday. “
+++ Nagelsmann about Gnabry +++
“His situation is like everyone else’s. We have very good competition in the squad. We have to wait and see whether Coman will play tomorrow. I assume that Gnabry will play tomorrow.”

But the last meeting also had a lot to offer: in the 1-1 draw on the fourth day of play, today’s Bayern keeper Yann Sommer surpassed himself in the Foals jersey and held on to the tie with incredible saves.
Only a few weeks after moving to Munich, the Swiss is about to return to his old living room. Does Sommer hold three points for FC Bayern on Saturday?
+++ Will Gladbach remain the feared opponent of FC Bayern? +++
Games against Borussia Mönchengladbach have rarely been subject to amusement tax for FC Bayern. Julian Nagelsmann’s team most recently won a game at Borussia Park in the 2018/19 season.
Only in one of the last five encounters did the Munich team emerge victorious. The 5-0 debacle in the second round of the DFB Cup last season will not be forgotten. Will Gladbach win again against Bayern?
+++ Is FC Bayern celebrating their fifth win in a row? +++
After a bumpy start to the new year with three draws in a row, FC Bayern has recovered noticeably in recent weeks. In the DFB-Pokal, the record champions celebrated a comfortable 4-0 win over FSV Mainz, and in the Bundesliga, too, the Munich side had the upper hand with victories against Wolfsburg and Bochum.
In addition, there was the important 1-0 away win in the Champions League at PSG during the week, which set the course for the quarter-finals of the premier class. Will Gladbach be the fifth competitive win in a row?
