Aaron Danks is preparing Bayern Munich for their Bundesliga showdown against Borussia Dortmund, with the team sticking to their successful approach despite the magnitude of Der Klassiker. Danks discussed the challenge Dortmund's defensive organization under Niko Kovač will present, as well as the latest team news. Bayern will be without Manuel Neuer due to injury. Joshua Kimmich's participation is uncertain after completing individual training sessions.

Danks acknowledged Dortmund's defensive strength, noting they concede few goals, but also warned against underestimating their attacking threats, having known some of their forwards from his time in England. He emphasized the need for Bayern to be ready for every phase of the game and perform to their best. Danks' comments highlighted the competitive nature of the fixture and the importance of maintaining their current form.

Danks reflected on the demands of his role, stating that the relentless schedule leaves little time to appreciate the experience of leading Bayern Munich until the season is over.
