Bayern Munich’s Max Eberl talks Aaron Danks, Joshua Kimmich, and Der Klassiker

In the lead-up to Saturday’s Der Klassiker, Bayern Munich’s sporting director Max Eberl spoke about the significance of the clash and the team’s approach. Eberl expressed respect for Borussia Dortmund’s progress under Niko Kovač, noting that both sides remain highly competitive. The match has taken on a crucial role in the Bundesliga title race, with Bayern currently level on points with Dortmund.

Eberl emphasized the team’s determination to secure a lead, stating that they are eager to create a gap on top of Bayern V B. He also touched upon the impact of recent events on the coaching staff, praising their unity and resilience despite unforeseen challenges. Eberl highlighted the importance of the group dynamic and the need to support one another during tough times.

Additionally, he addressed the personal situation of midfielder Joshua Kimmich, whose family is dealing with a bereavement. While Kimmich has resumed individual training, Eberl reassured that Bayern will not push him to return to the field prematurely. Instead, the club will offer full support to Kimmich, allowing him the time and space to heal at his own pace.

The upcoming match against Dortmund will be a monumental occasion for Bayern, but Eberl’s remarks underscored that the well-being of the players remains paramount.
