Bayern Munich and Borussia Dortmund parted in a 2-2 that was quite interesting to follow on Saturday afternoon. A fairly pleasant Klassiker, which the Bavarians surely imagined winning until this goal from Fabio Silva at the very end of the game. But this 2-2 goal was clearly not the worst news for the reigning German champion yesterday…
Indeed, while the Bavarian ogre will challenge Atlético de Madrid in the middle of the week in the Champions League, three players fell in battle: Ismaël Saibari, Serge Gnabry and… Michael Olise, left a few minutes from the end after asking to be replaced. Enough to fill an already quite full infirmary, with Luis Diaz, Manuel Neuer and Jamal Musiala who were already on the sidelines. An avalanche of physical problems for a team which already has to cope without its coach Vincent Kompany, still resting after his hospitalization.
Absent for the Blues?
Not the best context to prepare for this duel against Colchoneros who walk on water. And in the case of the Frenchman, he left the stadium limping, not speaking to the journalists who questioned him about his injury, probably muscular. If it is not a priori an injury which will keep him away from the field for months, we can especially be worried about the French team, while the Blues will challenge Italy (November 12) and Turkey (November 15) during the next break. It’s hard to imagine him in the list that Zidane will unveil next Friday.
If Saibari left the stadium on crutches with a bandage on his ankle, it will a priori be less serious for the Frenchman. “With Olise, we think it’s not so bad, but it’s relatively difficult to say after matches like this, with the adrenaline. But we can assume that it won’t be so bad.”confided sports director Max Eberl after the match. He should take exams in the coming hours, but it’s hard to imagine him playing against Atlético on Tuesday, against Mainz next weekend and then with the Blues…
