- De Ligt suffers injury
- Bayern consider Boateng as cover
- Final date for decision set
WHAT HAPPENED? According to Sky Sports Germany, Bayern Munich bosses are leaning towards re-signing their former defender Boateng, although there are still concerns regarding a deal.
A final decision is expected to be made tomorrow, after the veteran continued to impress during training sessions. However, the Bavarian club are also considering the possibility of waiting until January before assessing their defensive options.
THE BIGGER PICTURE: The 35-year-old spent ten years at Bayern from 2011 to 2021, making 363 appearances for the club throughout this time and winning the Champions League twice.
They are now looking into the possibility of re-signing Boateng, who is a free agent after leaving Lyon this summer, following an injury sustained by current centre-back Matthijs De Ligt.
