FC Bayern: Kimmich with advice for Gravenberch

Ryan Gravenberch is one of the few and small losers of the season at FC Bayern Munich so far, as his playing times are within a very manageable range. However, Joshua Kimmich encourages the youngster.

At the press conference ahead of the last Champions League group game against Inter Milan, Julian Nagelsmann already announced that Ryan Gravenberch would receive playing time against the Italians. So far, the Dutchman has not been granted too much of that: Gravenberch has only just under 400 minutes on his account across all competitions – he was only allowed to play from the start against Viktoria Pilsen and Viktoria Köln.

The 20-year-old has already publicly complained that he had hoped to play more games. At the same time, he also made it clear that he didn’t want to give up at Bayern, but wanted to fight his way through.

According to Joshua Kimmich, this is the correct approach. “He just has to be patient and offer himself in training,” the leader shared (via tz) With. “The most important thing is to always stay healthy. That’s what I did in my first season [beim FC Bayern] helped a lot and I slipped into a position that nobody thought I could do.”

Kimmich praised Gravenberch for “playing excellent preparation”. “His problem was that Sabi [Marcel Sabitzer] was good too. As Leon [Goretzka] out, he had a chance to get in. But Sabi was there,” Kimmich explained the dilemma of his young teammate.

However, the national player is fully convinced that Gravenberch has what it takes for FC Bayern: “He can also give us something defensively and keep stealing balls. It’s important for him to see the positive. He’s already had a few appearances and is got in almost every game.”

Against Inter, the 20-year-old gets the next chance to show himself.
