The full picture
Bayern Munich's Joshua Kimmich will miss Wednesday's DFB-Pokal match against 1. FC Magdeburg due to a family bereavement, according to Bavarian Football Works. The club announced last week that Kimmich would miss the Champions League match against Arsenal for the same reason. Kimmich is expected to attend a funeral before rejoining the team.
Kimmich's potential return against Borussia Dortmund on Saturday depends on his emotional state after attending the funeral, as reported by Frank Linkesch of Kicker. The Germany international's absence is significant for Vincent Kompany's side, as he is an important figure in Bayern's midfield.
Bayern will have to prepare for Magdeburg without Kimmich, and his availability for the Dortmund match is not guaranteed. The club is prioritizing Kimmich's well-being during this difficult personal period, and his return should not be treated as certain, according to Bavarian Football Works.
