When he had just returned to competition, the young attacking midfielder from Bayern Munich injured his thigh muscles during a warm-up with the Nationalmannschaft.

“I totally understand what he’s saying about setbacks. I have experienced this myself many times during my career. Knowing how to bounce back after a setback is a strength.
