Bayern to rest Thomas Müller to boost World Cup chances

Associated Press  

MUNICH — Germany faces more injury concerns ahead of the World Cup with Bayern Munich set to rest Thomas Müller and Borussia Dortmund’s Marco Reus having more issues with his ankle. Coach Julian Nagelsmann said Monday that the 33-year-old Müller is recovering but will be rested for games against Werder Bremen on Tuesday and Schalke on Saturday to avoid risking a further injury setback. “I’d like to give him some rest before the World Cup to let the structure heal fully,” Nagelsmann said. Dortmund coach Edin Terzic said Reus had to cut training short Sunday because of ankle pain but that on Monday “it didn’t look quite so bad.” Reus has barely played for Dortmund in the last five weeks with ankle issues but returned to play 23 minutes off the bench in a 3-0 win over Bochum on Saturday.
