Who Kovač plans to use in the Supercup on Saturday | OneFootball

Head coach Niko Kovac provided a squad update after the match: “Maxi (Beier, editor’s note) took a knock to the knee in the last game against Arsenal, so we didn’t want to take any risks.” Carney Chukwuemeka (“He has made progress”) had developed some muscular problems in the meantime: “That’s why we pulled the plug.” Waldemar Anton probably would have played in an important game. “I’m happy with him, but I didn’t want to take any risks—not that something happens. That’s why we gave him another rest. He’ll be back in full training on Tuesday.”

Managing director Lars Ricken confirmed on Saturday evening that squad planning has not yet been completed: “In the last two games, we’ve seen that we are already basically well positioned. But we still want to add a bit more quality, also in terms of depth. We’ll see how quickly we can get that done.” The transfer window remains open for another two weeks. It closes on September 1 at 8 p.m. (br)
