Update from October 7th, 10:15 a.m .:
The German Bundesliga classic is coming up and far beyond Säbener Straße in Munich, many fans are probably asking the question: Can Joshua Kimmich and Thomas Müller after their corona infections on Saturday for the FC Bayern at Borussia Dortmund (from 6.30 p.m., here in the live ticker)?
The decision should be made on Friday (October 7th).
Then both players should undergo another corona test with the German Bundesliga record champions.
These are likely to be PCR tests, as the German soccer giant had done in the past.
Hope for Corona returnees: is there enough time for Müller and Kimmich?
"Josh and Thomas are both asymptomatic, have nothing.
You are generally fine.
They both flock with their hooves.
We just spoke to them on the phone," said trainer Julian Nagelsmann on Monday: "They have no complaints, feel good and would like to train.
If we do the tests on Friday that we always do after a corona infection, and if they go well, then both are also candidates for Dortmund.
Of course, in this case you will have to see “whether from the beginning or not from the beginning.
That depends on the test results.
And also a bit of other parameters,” explained the 35-year-old from Upper Bavaria at the beginning of the week.
The trend at Bayern was not quite as optimistic as the week progressed.
On Thursday (October 6th) the Munich team trained behind the curtain - obviously without the two of them.
Kimmich and Müller could therefore only get back on Friday at the earliest, and thus only complete one unit before the showdown with the challenger from Westphalia.
Is that enough?
Time is running out at FC Bayern.

After a mixed start for both teams, however, there was no summit meeting.
The unusual starting position: FCB is only third, BVB fourth.

FC Bayern News: Oliver Kahn warns of BVB crackers
Bayern have recently shot themselves out of the crisis.
After four games without a win, the low point being the 0-1 defeat in Augsburg, there have recently been two victories against Leverkusen (4-0) and Pilsen (5-0) – each without conceding a goal.
Has the crisis already been overcome?
CEO Oliver Kahn spoke up on Twitter – and made it clear: The fact that the “form curve continues to go up” should not distract from the fact that “we also have to deliver a top performance against Dortmund”.
Before the game against BVB, the 53-year-old also commented on a possible transfer from Jude Bellingham in an interview with
Sport Bild
: "Of course I think Bellingham is an excellent player.
However, with Kimmich, Goretzka, Sabitzer and Gravenberch, we are very well occupied in this position, so we are not concerned at all.”
"To be honest," said Leon Goretzka, "there were two opponents who let us do what we wanted." "Others will come, too," added the midfield driver.
Just like Dortmund, “where more details matter”.
However, Goretzka promised: "We feel armed, we are really hot and will go full throttle."
Bayern before BVB duel: Thomas Helmer sees the crisis not yet over
Ex-Bayern captain Thomas Helmer, who doesn't see the Bayern crisis finally over yet, takes the same line.
"The players will rate these clear victories correctly, I wouldn't overrate them anyway.
Leverkusen and Pilsen were grateful opponents," explained the
kicker
expert in his column.

Only the hit in Dortmund will show to what extent Bayern have overcome their crisis.
“This comparison with BVB is the benchmark.
However, the reactivated efficiency and two clean sheets will boost Munich's self-confidence," said Helmer.
After the 2:3 in Cologne, BVB was also able to regain self-confidence with the 4:1 in Seville.
In Helmer's opinion, however, Bayern are the slight favorites for the Kracher duel.
"BVB's loss of Erling Haaland hurts much more than Bayern's farewell to Robert Lewandowski.
And the people of Munich like games like this to demonstrate their strength.”
FC Bayern: Corona concerns about BVB hammer
Bayern's captain is accordingly sure of victory, Manuel Neuer names the recipe for victory in front of the Dortmund cracker: an early goal.
"Then we can hardly be stopped." However, it is still uncertain whether Joshua Kimmich and Thomas Müller will be ready for action after their corona infections.
Should Kimmich fail, Leon Goretzka should take over command in the midfield center again.
