Joshua Kimmich is indispensable in the midfield headquarters of FC Bayern. We give the reasons why he is
indispensable for Hansi Flick. He meets and prepares. He crawls and curses. He always plays.
Joshua Kimmich is also expected to be back in the starting eleven on Tuesday night against FC Salzburg. Mister Indispensable!
He doesn’t mind that his congenial sideman Leon Goretzka will also be out in the Champions League against the Austrians with calf problems for
months. Instead, either routine Javi Martínez will clear up next to him or Corentin Tolisso will get another chance from the start.
Hansi Flick knows about Kimmich’s qualities, but above all about his unbridled ambition. As a result, the 25-year-old is
one of the few players who do not rotate under Flick,
but almost always play. Kimmich, the top fit!
After Manuel Neuer (930 minutes) and Thomas Müller (910) he is the player, with the third most minutes in the still young season.
In his five years at FC Bayern, the 50-time German international has only missed three competitive matches due to injury.
