Sinsheim (dpa) – The long-term failures Leon Goretzka and Alphonso Davies are about to return to the training ground at FC Bayern Munich.
“Things are looking good for Leon, he will have a partial load on Tuesday,” said coach Julian Nagelsmann after the Bundesliga leaders’ 1-1 draw at TSG 1899 Hoffenheim. “The knee is not responding at the moment, I hope it stays that way.”
Midfielder Goretzka (27) has been missing from the record German champions since his last appearance against Borussia Dortmund in early December due to knee problems. Full-back Davies has been on a break since mid-January due to heart muscle inflammation after a previous corona infection. The best case scenario happened to the 21-year-old, says Nagelsmann: “The myocarditis is gone. The fluid from the pericardium is gone and everything looks fine. But he will definitely – if everything goes well – three more to missing four weeks.” The Canadian must first be brought back to stress.
