The most important things at a glance
Loan player Tilman becomes the best young professional in Scotland
Bayern’s loanee Malik Tillman has been voted the best young professional of the season in Scotland. The 20-year-old scored 12 goals in 42 competitive games for runners-up Glasgow Rangers last season.
However, the offensive player, who played for Germany in youth and for the United States in seniors, missed the last games of the season due to a hamstring injury. It is still unclear whether Rangers will sign Tillman for the coming season. The annual award is run by the Scottish Association.
Davies back in training
Bayern Munich left-back Alphonso Davies has resumed running training. Pictures published by the German record champions showed the Canadian national player on the lawn on Säbener Straße on Monday.
Davies suffered a muscle bundle injury in his left rear thigh in the Bundesliga game at FSV Mainz 05 at the end of April. For the 22-year-old, the season usually ends prematurely after this serious muscle injury.
BVB sports director on Bayern: “Could lose more than win”
Sports director Sebastian Kehl believes Borussia Dortmund’s chances of winning the Bundesliga championship are good despite being second in the table behind Bayern Munich. “I think Bayern are thinking more. Bayern are now in a situation that is relatively unfamiliar to them,” said Kehl on the Sky90 talk show.
The Munich team could now “lose more than they can win,” added Kehl: “That’s why I currently see our situation as a hunter rather positively. I think we’ll win both games and then we’ll see what Bayern Munich does might.”
Salihamidzic: Neuer makes a “really good impression”
National goalkeeper Manuel Neuer is progressing on the way to his comeback. “He makes a good impression, a really good impression,” said Bayern Munich’s sporting director Hasan Salihamidzic after the 6-0 (2-0) win against Schalke 04 about the captain of the German record champions.
“I see him every day, we talk every day. Of course I’m happy that he’s on the right track,” added Salihamidzic. “There’s still a little bit to go but it’s getting better and better every day. He’s on the pitch, he’s jumping, he’s making his moves – we’re happy.” Neuer, who has been out since the winter break due to a broken leg and would like to attack again in the summer, watched the gala against his home club from the main stand of the Allianz Arena.
Salihamidzic comments on the future of two Bayern stars
After the 6-0 win against Schalke 04, Bayern’s sporting director Hasan Salihamidzic commented on the future of two professionals. Regarding Joao Cancelo, who is on loan from Manchester City until the summer, he said: “We’ll look at the season. There are no talks yet.”
His statement about Benjamin Pavard, on the other hand, was much more euphoric. “We would love to keep him and are currently in talks with him and his management.” Rumors about the French world champion have been circulating for weeks. His contract with FC Bayern runs until 2024.
Bayern with Müller against Schalke
Bayern Munich coach Thomas Tuchel relies on Thomas Müller again in the Bundesliga home game against Schalke 04. The offensive player, who initially only sat on the bench in the last two games against Hertha BSC and Werder Bremen, returns to the starting eleven for the important game in the title race on Saturday (from 3.30 p.m. in the t-online live ticker).
On Friday, after discussions about Müller’s future, Tuchel once again emphasized the special status of the vice-captain at Bayern. “Thomas is Bayern Munich. Bayern Munich is Thomas. He’s about to win his twelfth German championship and he’s totally focused on that,” said the 49-year-old. For Müller, Ryan Gravenberch first has to sit on the bench, and Leroy Sane also replaces Sadio Mane, who was once again unlucky against Bremen. – The Munich Lineup:
