Bayern Munich's midfield is largely defined by the duo of Joshua Kimmich and Leon Goretzka, making it difficult for other midfielders to secure playing time. Players like Pavlović faced challenges in breaking into the lineup but initially seemed set to do so. However, his recent collarbone injury and subsequent illness have sidelined him, allowing Goretzka to solidify his spot in the starting XI. Coach Nagelsmann expressed concern over Pavlović’s lack of playtime and emphasized his potential as a future starter, illustrating the challenges players face amidst injuries and squad selection dynamics.
“Pavlo is not playing enough. Now he's out again for four weeks with mononucleosis, which is no fun. He has to get through it and then be healthy.”
“He's a great talent, and I believe he'll become a regular starter at Bayern again, or at least get more playing time than he currently has.”
