Starting Wednesday Kimmich (thigh) is in the starting XI for Wednesday's clash with Leverkusen.

Impact Kimmich is back in the starting XI for Wednesday's clash after needing to pass a late fitness test. The defensive midfielder was always going to play if at all fit, and it appears he was able to pass all of the late checks. Konrad Laimer slides to right-back with Kimmich back fit.

Late call Wednesday Kimmich (thigh) is questionable for Wednesday's match against Leverkusen after training Tuesday, according to Mario Krischel of Kicker.

Impact Kimmich will be a late call following his spell with a tendon injury, as he has returned to training but will still need a fitness test to be an option. He is a regular starter, with a chance of seeing that spot immediately if he can get through training normally on Tuesday. This could be a huge post for the club, as Aleksandar Pavlovic (illness) is questionable and unlikely to play.
