Bayern Munich achieved a challenging 3-2 victory against St. Pauli, with Leon Goretzka substituted at halftime due to precautionary measures for a back issue. Sporting director Christoph Freund reassured fans, stating that this was not a cause for concern. The match revealed Bayern's ongoing injury struggles, notably with Hiroki Itō suffering an injury as well. The team’s fitness is crucial, with upcoming Champions League matches against Inter on the horizon, highlighting the importance of maintaining key players like Goretzka and Palhinha for successful performances.
Christoph Freund says Leon Goretzka was subbed off with a back problem as a precaution at half time - nothing serious.
This is good news, as Bayern have been plagued by enough injuries as of late, with Hiroki Itō seeming to pick up another just this game.
Fans will hope it was nothing serious, as Bayern will need everything they can gather for the upcoming games against Inter in the Champions League.
With Palhinha's extended absence, a Goretzka injury would be detrimental for Bayern.
