What’s up with his injury/recovery? Not much info, and he’s not able to make the squad for tomorrow. Worried that we’re going to rush him back for the final.
Good question, I don’t think anyone knows. It was maybe his abductor? Really worried that if he can’t play against Betis, we may be playing without him for the final or rushing him to play (never a good idea)

Rummenigge: "I apologize for Alaba leaving" "I am very sorry for David's departure. I apologize for it. He was the leader of the defense and played an incredible year under Flick when we won the Champions League in Lisbon. His loss at Bayern is very noticeable. That's something that, honestly, I feel." Regarding Toni Kroos , who left Bayern in 2014 in exchange for 25 million, Rummenigge understands that it is a different case: "His agent demanded a lot from Bayern , so much so that we could not fulfill it. We charged a transfer fee and I do not think that was because we did things wrong." Kroos' successes: "We don't need to discuss his career. It's extraordinary, obviously. Also because he's playing in a great club that wins titles and because it has had great coaches". https://www.marca.com/futbol/real-madrid/2022/05/30/62947991268e3e555d8b4598.html
These two were by far my favourite Bayern players since I’ve started watching football. For a combined €25m, insane return on investment from our perspective. I don’t have a preferred Bayern player anymore but when I do I feel we’ll eventually land him for cheap again to great success lol.
The father of his girlfriend (father in law?) Frank Heppner was put in custody in the evening because of being involved into the Reichsbürger movement.
I googled Heppner. I did not know him obviously, but our sixth degree of separation is down to three persons. He worked at a place where I knew a lot of people who knew the boss. I was very close to these people. I saw socially more than anyone else I knew in 2021 and 2022.
His daughter is half-asian, too, I think philippine like David's mother. But they are divorced. David's father is nigarian, his mother from the philippines. His mother was married to an Austrian before she met his nigarian father who was studying in Austria. This circle around that Reichsbürger movement consists of different groups, mostly right wingers, nazis, Querdenker (the group that went to the Covid-protests), AFD-members, people that believe in all kind of conspiracy theories. Pro-Trump. Pro-Russian. Heppner was supposed to care about the catering of the new Reich.

It's sad and a shame that you have to see scenes like that or read such things about him." #rmalive— Madrid Zone (@theMadridZone) December 22, 2022

He's damaging the team by refusing to play LB. We need Rudiger-Militao as CBs and a replacement for Mendy.
As I said in another thread, if he is going against the manager or not doing what is needed for the team, it’s time to sell and move on. Bring back Garcia, renew Mendy as backup and bring in a young CB
We had a settled backline that won us a double just last season, a double, now we must upend that to add a CB who we didn't need and i am still not personally sold on, not that my opinion is that relevant, we have other problems , the middle of the park and the attack for starters, i am not in the camp where there is the thought that selling Mendy and making David play LB will automatically make us better, at this moment the player that is worrying me the most is actually Tchou, i hope he can find his energy again, lots of huge holes in the middle of the park yesterday
