Low has told
Kicker when asked about wiping the slate clean for Bayern Munich and Borussia Dortmund stars: “Boateng is playing regularly and is good when he gets into a rhythm.
“Hummels has great organisational capabilities and can still play at the top level, I have no doubt about that.”
He added: “The character of Hummels and Muller is that they don t suppress others.
“In past generations, there were players who took on leadership roles alone and blocked out others, but Muller, for example, appreciates [Joshua] Kimmich as an engine, an energy provider and a motivator.”

I believe that in the end you have to plan a little ahead. I am now questioning whether the coach s plan has worked out in the way he wanted it to be.
Jerome Boateng has left Bayern Munich's camp at the Club World Cup in Qatar, head coach Hansi Flick has confirmed, after the death of the defender's ex-girlfriend.
