Jérôme Boateng continues to stay fit at FC Bayern. This Wednesday he was even allowed to help out with the first team again.
The international break means FC Bayern have a decimated training squad. Because of the games and trips with their national teams, FCB coach Thomas Tuchel only had seven professionals available for team training on Wednesday.
Boateng trains alongside Harry Kane
This also included top striker Harry Kane (who had already returned) and keeper Manuel Neuer. In order to increase the group, the Bayern trainer used the record champions’ second team. Central defender Jerome Boateng was once again allowed to train with the first team and alongside Harry Kane, reported “Bild”.
On Friday evening (8.30 p.m.) the second-placed team will face 1. FC Köln and can therefore advance in the Bundesliga long-distance duel with Bayer Leverkusen.
In October, Bayern thought loudly about signing ex-player Boateng due to their thin staffing levels, but then decided against it – also due to a past burdened by criminal proceedings, as honorary president Uli Hoeneß explained in October.
Boateng excursion into the Formula 1 world
The out-of-contract ex-national player has since continued training with Bayern’s U23 team and is trying to stay in shape there. The “Bild” wants to know that the record champions signing the defender for the professional team is not a serious option. Rumors about a commitment to Bundesliga promoted team 1. FC Heidenheim recently turned out to be false.
Last weekend, Boateng followed the Las Vegas Grand Prix and posted photos from the glittering event in the USA, for example with Olympic sprint champion Usain Bolt. After Formula 1 world champion Max Verstappen’s victory, we went back across the Atlantic to Munich and Säbener Straße.
