Bild: Bayern players played nearly 800 minutes more than Dortmund players on international matches

October 16th This weekend, the Bundesliga will usher in the highlight match between Bayern Munich and Dortmund. "Bild" published an article before the game, taking stock of the appearances of the two teams' international players.

Most of the international players did not return to team training until Wednesday. Bayern's Gnabry, Pavlovich, Kimmich, Goretzka, Jonathan Tower, Olise, Upamecano and Laimer have resumed training. Some players who have traveled long distances, such as Luis Diaz, Kim Min-jae or Jackson, will not return to the team until Thursday.

It is worth noting that during this international match day, Bayern players accumulated significantly more playing time than Dortmund players. Bayern's first-team internationals are almost all the main players of their respective national teams. They played a total of 1,892 minutes during this international match day, while Dortmund's first-team internationals played 1,115 minutes, nearly 800 minutes less.

The best example is the German national team. Bayern's five German internationals played almost the entire game in the two games. On the contrary, Dortmund only started twice with Adeyemi and Schloterbeck, Anton and Bayer were substitutes, and Nmecha did not play.

The difference can also be seen on the training ground in the past few days. Among Bayern's first-team lineup, only goalkeepers Neuer, Ulreich and Ulbig, as well as Boy and young players Lennart Karl and Wisdom Mack are training on the court. Dortmund at least has more well-known players training, such as Maier, Drevis, Süle, Anselmino, Jan Couto, Chukwumeka, Gross, Brandt and Fabio Silva.
