Joshua Kimmich, once considered an untouchable presence in both Bayern Munich and the German national football team’s starting lineups, is now facing a precarious situation. Recent performances have put his starting spot in the German national team at risk, a position he may have thought was secured.
The current games are serving as a testing ground for Kimmich, as the coaching staff closely observes his performance alongside Ilkay Gündogan. Notably, the combination of Gündogan and Pascal Groß showed promise in midfield during games in the US last month. This development is a stark contrast to the running joke that Kimmich was never a candidate for substitution during matches, and any coach who dared to do so would face his wrath. However, recent events suggest otherwise.
In a surprising twist, Kimmich was the first to be substituted off for Leon Goretzka during a recent match against Turkey. This move has raised questions about Kimmich’s role and standing within the team, especially with a massive tournament on home soil looming – a situation no international player desires.
The uncertainty surrounding Kimmich’s place in the German national team also has repercussions for his club career. With his contract at Bayern Munich set to expire in 2025, the prospect of being relegated to the bench for both club and country could affect his chances of securing a renewal with the Bavarian giants.
As the football world eagerly watches, Joshua Kimmich now faces the challenge of proving his worth and reclaiming his status as an indispensable player, both in the German national team and at Bayern Munich. The road ahead may be filled with obstacles, but Kimmich’s determination and skill will undoubtedly play a crucial role in determining his future in the beautiful game.
