"Bar injury or sickness, you can count on the 30-year-old to be present on the pitch leading his side from the right flank or midfield. Although, even injury can barely keep Kimmich out of the action. The German captain was forced to miss his side's FIFA World Cup qualifying clash against Luxembourg due to a capsule injury in his right ankle. However, Kimmich was back in the starting lineup against Slovakia despite not being fully recovered."
"He has a lot of experience at this level and played many such games. He's one of the best crossers of the ball in Europe, we saw that in the first goal, which was very important. He worked hard and had a good performance like everyone else. He still had a bit of pain, but he always gives everything for the national team and for his club. That's why he's our captain."
Joshua Kimmich missed Germany's World Cup qualifier against Luxembourg due to a capsule injury in his right ankle but returned to start against Slovakia despite not being fully recovered. The 30-year-old captain operated from the right flank or midfield and contributed with effective crossing and leadership. Manager Julian Nagelsmann praised Kimmich's experience, work-rate, and willingness to play through pain, calling him one of Europe's best crossers and the national team's captain. Bayern coach Vincent Kompany was concerned but relieved that the player did not aggravate the injury. Kimmich is expected to feature for Bayern Munich against SC Freiburg at the Allianz Arena.
