In Der Klassiker against Borussia Dortmund, Munich will have to do without one of their leading players
Midfielder Bayern Joshua Kimmich received a two-match suspension from the German Football Association. Now he will miss matches Bundesliga against Borussia Dortmund And Heidenheim.
The reason for the punishment was the red card received by the 28-year-old player in the surprising match of the 9th round against Darmstadt. Already in the fourth minute, Kimmich received a straight red for depriving the opponent of an obvious scoring opportunity. However, before the end of the first half, two visiting players committed similar offenses.
In a 10 vs 9 game, Bayern destroyed the underdog after the break, sending him eight unanswered goals. Harry Kane scored a hat-trick, one of which he scored from his own half.
Since 2015, having moved from Stuttgart, Kimmich has played 361 matches for Bayern, scored 40 goals, and given 9 assists. This season, Yozua played in 14 matches (13 of them from the first minutes) and provided five assists.
After 9 rounds, Bayern is in second place in the Bundesliga, two points behind Bayer and the same number of points ahead of Stuttgart and Borussia Dortmund. It is with the Bumblebees, in the so-called “Der Klassiker”, that Thomas Tuchel’s team will have to meet on November 4th. A week later, Bayern will host Heidenheim. In both meetings she will have to do without Kimmich.
The disqualification is not end-to-end, so Yozua will be able to take part in the away match of the 1/16 finals of the German Cup against Saarbrücken, which will take place on November 1.
