Thiago Recovery and Form Prove Bayern Munich Doctors Can Do Their Job

One week ago, legendary Bayern Munich doctor Hans-Wilhelm Muller-Wohlfahrt announced his shock resignation. The world-renowned doctor released a statement (per The Guardian) that he and his staff had been blamed for the club's 3-1 Champions League defeat to Porto the night before, and that as a result, he had chosen to step down.

To this day, it remains uncertain as to exactly what was said and precisely what precipitated Muller-Wohlfahrt's resignation after over 38 years of service to the club. It appears, however, that club president Karl-Heinz Rummenigge confronted the doctor after the Porto loss.
