😳 Supposedly injured? Kimmich shows Germany true commitment | OneFootball

Before the match, it was unclear whether Joshua Kimmich would even be on the field. The Bayern star had been struggling with an injury until the last moment and had to stay out for 90 minutes against Luxembourg. 

However, the national coach apparently could not and did not want to do without his perhaps best player. With all necessary precautions to minimize the risk of injury, the 30-year-old was in the starting lineup today. 

And Kimmich doesn't seem injured at all so far. A prime example was the scene in the 15th minute when the captain sprinted after a dead ball with all his might, retrieved it with a slide tackle, and then created a dangerous scoring opportunity.  

It seems that the fighting spirit is also transferring to the other players. The German team is showing a different face than against Luxembourg and scored the 1-0 just a few minutes later with a header from Woltemade. 

And the opening goal was just the beginning of a true goal festival. Gnabry followed up with the 2-0 just a few minutes later, before Leroy Sane increased it to 4-0 with a brace. What a match.
