Sports record champions in need
After the de Ligt shock – is FC Bayern now bringing Boateng back?
Status: 02.11.2023 | Reading time: 2 minutes
“The arrogance has fallen on Bayern’s feet”
FC Bayern Munich sensationally failed in the DFB Cup against Saarbrücken. “They allow themselves to be shown like this by a third division team,” criticizes former national player Jimmy Hartwig – and wonders how firmly coach Thomas Tuchel is still in the saddle.
The cup embarrassment in Saarbrücken is garnished with injury concerns at FC Bayern. Defense chief Matthijs de Ligt will probably be out until the end of the first half of the season. Now an actually rejected plan for a comeback by Jerome Boateng is maturing.
His return to FC Bayern was actually already over. Now Jerome Boateng (35) is suddenly becoming an issue at Bayern again. On October 6th, the record champions announced that they would not re-sign the defender: “FC Bayern Munich decided this on Friday and informed the long-time Bayern professional.”
Now the Boateng issue is becoming topical again. Background: There is a huge defensive alarm at FC Bayern. Dayot Upamecano (25) was missing for weeks with a torn fiber and should at best return to Dortmund. Matthijs de Ligt (24) was caught in the cup embarrassment in Saarbrücken: the capsule on the inner ligament in his right knee was damaged again. The first diagnosis: a four to six week break. The first half of the season would have been as good as over for the Dutchman.

Is Bayern now bringing Boateng back? The topic should come up on the table later on Thursday in order to have the personnel clarified before the away game on Saturday (6.30 p.m.) at Borussia Dortmund.

Domestic violence trial
With Thomas Tuchel (50) he is said to have a supporter of the idea in the club. Recently, a short-term Boateng solution is said to have been discussed again internally. What would speak for a deal by the end of the season: Boateng is in top shape, Bayern’s defensive needs are huge.

The domestic violence trial, which is to be reopened, also played an important role in the Boateng case. Bayern are also said to have refrained from making a commitment because of the threatening background noise. However, according to “BILD” information, the court hearings will no longer begin during the course of the season, i.e. in the next eight months.
