Munich - 30 p.m. / Sky) against TSG 1899 Hoffenheim.
“I'm relatively happy again.” He is “much better” than the night before, but there is “still no precise prognosis” for his return.

"I trust my people that they will choose the right words," said Nagelsmann, who will not give a half-time address digitally, but will be in constant contact with his assistant coaches during the game.
