The full picture

Joshua Kimmich is set to return to Bayern's lineup against Borussia Dortmund on Saturday, according to FCBinside, citing Sky. Kimmich had been absent due to a death in his immediate family and had missed recent games, including the Champions League match against Arsenal and the Bundesliga game against SC Freiburg. He participated in a team training session on Friday, marking an important step towards his comeback.

Kimmich's return is significant for Bayern as he is a key player, particularly in building up play, and his absence had been filled by other players like Tom Bischof. The midfielder's passing accuracy, game awareness, and experience are crucial in big games like the one against Dortmund. While it's unclear if he'll start, his return improves Munich's personnel options.

Bayern had officially confirmed Kimmich's absence from the Arsenal match and respected his family's privacy. With his return, the team regains an important leader just in time for the prestigious showdown with Dortmund. However, it remains to be seen whether Kimmich will be ready to play a full match after his brief break.
