Six points behind the autumn master can irritate the serial to the master, who was accompanied in his Hoffenheim-preparation once more of personal speculation. Whether for the attack on the BVB, the star of the ensemble is reinforced in the Winter, left the Kovac on Wednesday. With the return of the still-injured “vintage” Franck Ribéry (35) and Arjen Robben (34) of the competition but even without additions in January is high, said Kovac. “Then we don’t need three, four, five others.”
The Bavarians are irritated. Second place is the Munich-based claim, and neither the Bank, the claim of James Rodríguez. The loan player from Real Madrid came in the first half of the season, also out due to Injury, only to 471 minutes. “He plays with all of his future, that’s for sure. Anyone who would like to have a contract of employment in a club, you must perform at a high level,“ said the coach of Bayern Munich on Wednesday. James wanted more time, now it was up to him to convince the coach of the team. For the Champions League game against Liverpool, when Thomas Müller (1236 League-minutes) is suspended, is James Topkandidat for the starting lineup.

After the access of Benjamin Pavard for 35 million euros from VfB Stuttgart in the summer, and the efforts to Callum Hudson-Odoi, from FC Chelsea, Salihamidzic announced “some transfer”. Lucas Hernández (Atletico Madrid) is a candidate. “We have already held talks, there will be more. He comes in Winter, is unrealistic,” said Salihamidzic in the “Sport Bild”. The 18-year-old Hudson-Odoi, the Director of sport wants to commit “necessarily”. “There is nothing to add,” said Coach Kovac.
Except Robben and Ribéry of FC Bayern in Hoffenheim on Corentin Tolisso (cruciate ligament rupture) will have to do without. In the list there will be cases of hardship, a German national player must look in Central defence. There are many indications that the Mats will be mats Hummels. Without Ribéry (hamstring) and seals (persistent femoral irritation) will be required against Hoffenheim on the wings young stars such as Kingsley Coman or Serge Gnabry. The 18-year-old Alphonso Davies, the only winter access is also an Alternative.
