Munich (AP) – National soccer player Niklas Süle will probably not be in the starting eleven in FC Bayern’s last home game this season with the subsequent handover of the championship trophy on Sunday (5:30 p.m.).
Süle was allowed to start in the 3-1 draw against FSV Mainz 05 a week ago and thus got his “treat” as a departure. Nagelsmann emphasized that the 26-year-old was “very, very valuable”. “Maybe he’ll get more minutes,” said the coach two days before the home game against VfB Stuttgart. Süle leaves Bayern after five years on a free transfer.
The world champion Corentin Tolisso, who was repeatedly thrown back by injuries, was recently no longer able to recommend himself for a new contract. The French midfielder, who once came for a record fee of €41.5m, was recently absent with a thigh hamstring tear.
“I appreciate Coco incredibly, he has an incredible winning mentality,” Nagelsmann praised the 27-year-old, whose contract is expiring. Tolisso’s susceptibility to injury was “already a small problem”. You will “see what the future will bring.”
Nagelsmann was happy about a full training squad before the Stuttgart game, which is why he expects “tough squad decisions”. Joshua Kimmich and Alphonso Davies were just as stricken after a gastrointestinal illness as Jamal Musiala after a cold.
