Impact Kimmich picked up an illness while with the German national team and was only able to begin team training Thursday.

Whips in seven crosses Kimmich had one shot (zero on goal), seven crosses (one accurate) and seven corners in Sunday's 3-0 win against SC Freiburg.

Impact Kimmich led the team in crosses on Sunday, whipping in seven during the win. It was another match with a high volume of crosses for the midfielder against Freiburg, notching seven or more for the fifth time this season. He continues to be the main taker of corner kicks, taking 51 this season. If he stays in this role, the German will always provide decent production throughout the season.

Big set-piece performance in win Kimmich assisted once to go with one shot (zero on goal), nine crosses (five accurate) and eight corners in Saturday's 7-0 win over Bochum.

Active in set-piece duties Kimmich assisted once to go with five crosses (one accurate) and five corners in Wednesday's 4-3 win versus Manchester United.

Impact Kimmich controlled the tempo in midfield and looked impressive throughout the game, but his perfect pass to Mathys Tel was the icing on the cake. Kimmich tends to operate as a defensive midfielder, however, so his offensive output is limited when excluding set-piece actions and corners.

Plays 61 minues Kimmich took one shot (on goal), crossed four times (one accurate), created four chances and made four tackles (winning three) during Friday's 2-2 draw with Leverkusen.

Impact Kimmich played 61 minutes after recovering from a knock on international duty leading Bayern in in both chances created and tackles in the match. Usually a guarantee for set piece duty, Kimmich ceded all corner kicks in the match to Leroy Sane and could face limited minutes in upcoming matches against Manchester United and Bochum as he recovers full fitness.

Starting against Leverkusen Kimmich is in the starting lineup for Friday's match against Leverkusen.

Impact Kimmich has been deemed healthy and will be starting in Friday's match. He picked up a knock during the international break with Germany but has passed all fitness tests and is ready for play.

Questionable for Friday's match Kimmich (undisclosed) is questionable for Friday's match against Leverkusen, according to manager Thomas Tuchel.

Impact Kimmich's availability going into Friday's match is still in question after picking up a knock with the German international team. Bayern will be very happy if he can play as they take on Leverkusen in a very important early season match. If he is not available, expect the likes of Konrad Laimer to slide into his spot or for Thomas Tuchel to make a formation change, allowing Thomas Muller or Serge Gnabry to start.

Picks up knock with Germany Kimmich suffered a muscle injury while playing for Germany's national team and is doubtful for their next game against France.

Impact Kimmich's availability moving forward is in question after picking up a knock while playing with Germany over the international break. The severity of the injury has not been confirmed yet, but we do know it is a muscle injury, and he is listed as doubtful for Germany's next game. Bayern Munich hopes to avoid a major injury as they are already thin in the midfield with the loss of Jamal Musiala for an extended period this season. There is a decent chance Kimmich will not be available for Bayern's first game back from the international break but he could be healthy for their opening UCL group stage match against Manchester United.

Bags two assists Kimmich assisted twice to go with two shots (zero on goal), 13 crosses (seven accurate) and 14 corners in Saturday's 2-1 victory over Monchengladbach.

Impact Kimmich finally got on the scoresheet and now takes a pair of assists into the international break. The defensive midfielder has one of the best floors in Germany and his upside is unmatched in the elite Munich attack. With only Konrad Laimer and Raphael Guerreiro to provide depth for Kimmich he should flirt with almost 4,000 minutes on the pitch once more.

Fills stat sheet versus Augsburg Kimmich had two off-target shots, sent in nine crosses (two accurate) and made two tackles (both won), one clearance, one intercerption and one block during Sunday's 3-1 win over A...

Impact Kimmich was a steady presence in the middle of the park, making defensive interventions when his side needed while also being heavily involved on the build-up of plays. His biggest contribution came when he attempted a long-range shot that struck a defender's open arm inside the box, generating the penalty that Harry Kane converted to make it 2-0 in the 40th minute. With a lot of say on both ends of the pitch and his role on set pieces, Kimmich will always be a great fantasy pick regardless of the circumstances.

Busy in rout Kimmich had two shots (zero on goal), seven crosses (three accurate) and five corners in Friday's 4-0 victory over Werder Bremen.

Impact Kimmich was held off the scoresheet during Friday's one-sided rout but still piled on major volume. The defensive midfielder continued his duty on set-pieces with five corners and sent in two more crosses from open play. Kimmich's role on set-pieces and his eye for goal will keep him as an elite midfield option in 2023-24.

AUGUST 18, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Completes another stellar season Kimmich started 41 matches in 42 appearances in all competitions, recording six goals and nine assists on 280 crosses (85 accurate) and 105 chances created.

Despite being five league assists short from his total in 2021/22, Kimmich continued to create chances for the club while providing goal opportunities for the attack. He will continue to be the team's main playmaker heading into the 2023/24 campaign while looking to have another healthy season.

Active display against Werder Kimmich created four chances, sent in 13 crosses (five accurate) and drew three fouls during Saturday's 2-1 win over Werder Bremen.

Impact Kimmich was once again a big threat on set pieces but also displayed his playmaking skill on open play to initiate the attacking actions and sometimes put teammates in scoring position. The midfielder isn't getting double-digit assists like he did on the previous two Bundesliga campaigns but he still finds other ways to remain one of the league's top fantasy performers at his position.

Impact Kimmich is having a down year in 2022/23, and yet he still sits on 10 goal contributions from defensive midfield.

Impact Kimmich and Bayern came out of the blocks firing on Wednesday, but all they could ultimately muster on the scoreboard was the captain's 83rd-minute consolation spot kick as the club was bounced out in the UCL quarterfinals for a third year in a row. This was Kimmich's first Champions League goal since a group stage win over Lokomotiv Moscow in October 2020.

Kimmich remains a major floor play with a lion's share of all set-pieces.
