From the source

Bayern Munich had several opportunities to bring Lennart Karl into Der Klassiker against Borussia Dortmund, but stand-ion coach Aaron Danks only brought him on with six minutes left.

Considering his recent return from injury and the fact that he is still in search of his form, is Karl ready for more playing time in big games like these?

Bayern had to substitute off Ismail Saibari and Serge Gnabry in the first half against Dortmund. They were replaced by attack-minded fullbacks in Nathaniel Brown and Alphonso Davies, while Lennart Karl was brought on only in the 84th minute.
