Rumour · This claim is unconfirmed.
From the source
Jürgen Klopp is not interested in turning Bayern Munich’s midfield selection into a debate about Joshua Kimmich’s future in the team. The former Liverpool manager made that abundantly clear after being asked about the partnership between Aleksandar Pavlović and Tom Bischof, pushing back against the suggestion that their performances should spark questions about Kimmich’s place.
Klopp believes Pavlović and Bischof have the qualities to complement each other, but he was particularly frustrated by the timing of the discussion, given that Kimmich is dealing with a difficult personal situation.
“They [Bischof and Pavlović] are great partners who can play together brilliantly. I just think it’s absolutely disrespectful to be talking about this now. We can’t do that without it subsequently turning into a Kimmich story as well.
