"He's fine.

You rarely notice it when you have it," says Nagelsmann in an interview about the diagnosed mild myocarditis: "You notice that you're not at 100 percent when you move.

But as a player, it's difficult to project that onto the heart." The downtime is "indefinite.

There are very different statistics and numbers.

Because you can't tell from the MRI images how severe the inflammation is," he continues, "until the heart muscle has full pumping capacity again."

Does he miss this today, or does 1. FC Köln really have reason to be happy today?

We'll know more soon!

However, this recording is six years old and the Berlin Olympic Stadium can be seen in the background.

There the Catalans won the Champions League on June 6, 2015 by beating Juventus Turin 3-1.

Süle at least showed which club he sympathizes with.

A pointer?

In the Barcelona jersey: Bayern star Niklas Süle.

1. FC Köln – FC Bayern in the live ticker: BVB’s challenge in the direction of Munich

First report from January 15:

Munich/Cologne – It could be exciting again in the Bundesliga*: Borussia Dortmund* clearly won 5:1 (3:0) against the strong defenders of Freiburg on Friday evening, and suddenly BVB made it still faint hopes for the German championship *.

Borussia coach Marco Rose* put it moderately after the victory.

"We always say that we want to be up there and that we would like to bring the trophy here to Dortmund.

But you also have to be honest: Bayern are having corona problems right now and are having an excellent season so far, giving little away," said the 45-year-old.

A declaration of war?

Interpretation.

The fact is: BVB has reduced the gap to FC Bayern Munich* to three points for at least one day.

1. FC Köln – FC Bayern in the live ticker: Sané, Upamecano, Neuer, Nianzou and Richards are back

And the Bavarians?

Can be a little relieved with a view to the line-up*.

Because: Leroy Sané, Dayot Upamecano, Manuel Neuer, Tanguy Nianzou and Omar Richards are in the away game at 1. FC Köln this Saturday afternoon (3:30 p.m.) after surviving the corona infection *.

But: The Canadian winger Alphonso Davies is out with a mild myocarditis, which is attributed to infection with the corona virus.

In the video: Bayern coach Nagelsmann is particularly impressed by one thing at 1. FC Köln

Kingsley Coman is also not there and is in rehabilitation training on Säbener Straße in Munich * after a muscle fiber tear and corona infection.

And 1. FC Cologne?

The Rhinelanders have won their last three games and moved up to sixth place in the Bundesliga table*.

If there were Anthony Modeste.

The 33-year-old cult striker from France has already scored twelve goals after 18 games this season.

And should have been carefully studied by FCB coach Julian Nagelsmann*.
