Bayern Munich star Joshua Kimmich has shed some light on the situation of Thomas Muller in Bavaria as rumours of a January move for the latter gather pace.
The forward progressed through the Die Roten youth setup, before breaking into the first-team as a teenager, going on to win eight Bundesliga titles, as well as the 2012/13 Champions League. However, coach Niko Kovac has grown impatient with his indifferent form this campaign, refusing to include Muller in any of Bayern's starting lineups since 14 September.
Following a 1-1 draw away to RB Leipzig, Kovac made the decision to oust the 30-year-old from his first-choice XI, triggering speculation that Muller could leave the Allianz Arena once the winter transfer window opens.
