FC Bayern is worried about the use of Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting before the Bundesliga duel with Bayer Leverkusen. The regular player is currently struggling with back problems.
According to “kicker” it is “open” whether Choupo-Moting can take part in the away game against Bayer Leverkusen on Sunday (5:30 p.m.). The top scorer had already missed FC Bayern’s last game against FC Augsburg (5:3).
According to the specialist magazine, an MRI examination at Choupo-Moting “did not produce any more precise findings”. Head coach Julian Nagelsmann may therefore have to reschedule in the duel with the recovered Leverkuseners.
Most recently, Serge Gnabry was at the top at Bayern Munich. The national player was supported in the Munich offensive by Leroy Sané and Sadio Mané. Apart from Choupo-Moting, FC Bayern does not have a classic nine in their own ranks.
Choupo-Moting the winner at FC Bayern
After Robert Lewandowski left last summer, the 33-year-old has developed from a supplementary player to a regular. Born in Hamburg, he has already scored 17 competitive goals this season.
That’s why Choupo-Moting was recently rewarded with a contract extension at Bayern Munich until 2024. “Choupo is an artist on the ball, he has performed very well in recent years. In the first half of the season he helped us to close the gap we had in the forward position,” said sports director Hasan Salihamidzic in praise of the national player’s development cameroon
In the end of the season, FC Bayern definitely needs a healthy Choupo-Moting. After the guest appearance at Bayer Leverkusen, the international break is on the agenda. FC Bayern will then welcome BVB to the Bundesliga summit (April 1, 6:30 p.m.).
