most valuable of their teams

Before the Bundesliga duel between FC Bayern and Borussia Dortmund, Julian Nagelsmann emphasized the importance of the two young stars Jamal Musiala and Jude Bellingham. “I’m assuming that both of them will continue to play the key roles they are currently playing throughout the season and that they are also of great importance for their national teams,” said the Munich coach the day before the classic on Saturday ( 6.30 p.m.) at BVB. “We can all enjoy that such young top talents play in the Bundesliga.”

The two 19-year-olds are the focus of the duel. Germany international Musiala is Bayern’s top scorer with five league goals and eight goals involved. Dortmund’s Bellingham, who is the same age and plays for the English team, recently took over the captain’s armband from the injured Marco Reus (33). “He’s having a very good season and is very active,” said Nagelsmann about the box-to-box player, who is more defensive than Musiala.

The status of Musiala is “extremely high” for the record champions, said Nagelsmann. “He’s made a lot of progress, including defensively. We are all incredibly happy and satisfied that we have him.” Musiala exudes a great goal threat.

Both Musiala and Bellingham are the most valuable players in their teams with market values ​​of €80m and €90m respectively. The Dortmund youngster even leads the Bundesliga ranking, while Musiala is the most valuable German together with teammate Joshua Kimmich (27). Both youngsters are also among the most valuable U21 players in the world.

FC Bayern: Müller is missing from BVB – Kimmich is open

Thomas Müller will meanwhile be absent from FC Bayern after his corona infection. The 33-year-old was tested like Kimmich, but still had cold symptoms, reported Nagelsmann. Müller is not 100 percent fit and will therefore not train with the team yet. On the other hand, the Munich coach kept Kimmich open. “We’ll wait for Joshua’s training and then decide whether he’ll come along and what makes sense,” said Nagelsmann. All medical values ​​​​at 27-year-old Kimmich are “top”. Müller and Kimmich tested positive last Saturday and missed the record champions in the 5-0 win against Viktoria Pilsen in the Champions League on Tuesday.

Kingsley Coman (26) could be there after his compulsory break. “He’s definitely ready and could definitely play 30 or 40 minutes,” said Nagelsmann. The Frenchman recently had to pause due to a torn muscle fiber in his left rear thigh. The Munich team will have to be patient with Lucas Hernández. The 26-year-old is missing because of a torn muscle bundle in the adductor area of ​​the left thigh.
