As expected, world footballer Robert Lewandowski will make his comeback for Bayern Munich in the Bundesliga game at FSV Mainz 05 on Saturday (3.30 p.m. / Sky). “He’s back in the squad and in very good physical shape, he showed that in training,” said coach Hansi Flick on Friday.
In addition to Lewandowski, who missed Munich’s last six competitive games due to a ligament stretch in his right knee, Serge Gnabry is also returning after his corona illness. At Marc Roca “we have to wait and see,” said Flick. Niklas Süle, Corentin Tolisso and Douglas Costa are also missing.
Lewandowski would set the “eternal” goal record of Gerd Müller from the 1971/72 season (40) with five more hits in the remaining four league games. “We all agree that he has the big goal,” said Flick, but also emphasized that “Lewa” might need a certain amount of start-up time after the long break.
