"Prior to Bayern Munich's 3-2 victory over Eintracht Frankfurt in the Bundesliga, it was announced that Konrad Laimer was going to sit out the match due to load management. This, of course, put up the "panic antenna" for many fans as the Austrian star had just returned from a torn muscle fiber in his calf. After the win, Bayern Munich board member for sport Max Eberl was responding to questions and addressed the issue of Laimer, along with goalkeeper Manuel Neuer."
"The deployments of #Neuer and #Laimer next Saturday against Dortmund are, according to Eberl, "not ruled out." #FCBayern Getting Neuer back so soon seems...risky. Ditto for Laimer if he is not fully ready to go. While Borussia Dortmund is undoubtedly a massive game, the Bavarians have shot themselves in the foot several times this season with players either returning too early from injury or playing through an injury."
Konrad Laimer sat out the match against Eintracht Frankfurt for load management after recently returning from a torn muscle fiber in his calf. Bayern Munich won 3-2. Bayern board member for sport Max Eberl said Laimer and goalkeeper Manuel Neuer are not ruled out for the upcoming Der Klassiker against Borussia Dortmund next weekend. The club's phrasing leaves their participation possible but uncertain. Bringing Neuer or Laimer back too soon carries risk given past instances of players returning early or playing through injury this season. Player health should remain the priority with three titles still at stake.
