'Sanches is often the best man in training' - Sule backs team-mate for Bayern breakthrough

The Portuguese midfielder complained about his playing time this weekend, but his team-mate thinks the 22-year-old will eventually get his chance

Renato Sanches' complaints about playing time have not fallen on deaf ears, according to team-mate Niklas Sule, who nonetheless believes the Portguese midfielder should fight for his place in the squad.

The 22-year-old has struggled to live up to the hype he earned as a breakout star with Portugal during their 2016 European Championship winning run.

He has made just 10 Bundesliga starts for Bayern across multiple seasons and the beginning of the 2019-20 season gave little indication that his role will be growing in the near future.
