From the source

It is no secret that Bayern Munich attacker Lennart Karl has not exactly gotten off to a great start this season. After suffering an injury last summer, Karl has been slow to round into form.

However, Bild is reporting that some at the club are not simply pointing to the injury as the reason for Karl’s lack of progress. According to Bild, the 18-year-old’s dip in form is not being blamed solely on the muscle tear he suffered over the summer, with concerns also reportedly growing over his off-the-pitch activities.

The German tabloid reports that Bayern’s hierarchy are unhappy with how Karl presents himself on social media, believing he shares too much of “his glamorous lifestyle and his private life with his influencer girlfriend, Zoe Käppele.”
