Unofficial FC Bayern Forum

23.08.2006 Watching Christian Lell and Andreas Görlitz (pictured) on the training ground, you would think the pair were contesting a title-deciding showdown, as the youngsters sprint, put in crosses, shoot and argue over a hard-fought passing accuracy game. All the signs point to the long-term injury victims resuming the first-team programme in the near-distant future.

Lell should be first to shake off the daily grind of long-term rehab training. "They're taking the pins out next Monday," he informed fcbayern.de on Tuesday this week. The player is determined to rejoin the squad as soon as possible after that, perhaps even on the same day. The former Reds youth tore all the ligaments in his left shoulder while contesting a pre-season friendly in Linz on 23 July.

Twenty-two month lay-off for Görlitz

Görlitz' most recent appearance for the senior side is a lot longer ago than that. "It'll soon be two full years," he grimaced. In fact, the Germany right-back has been out for close on 22 months after tearing the cruciate ligament in his left knee on Champions League duty against Juventus in November 2004, the start of a demoralising sequence for the youngster which has seen him sustain damage to his kneecap, ankle and cartilage since then.

The 24-year-old has become thoroughly acquainted with the rehab programme supervised by specialist coach Oliver Schmidtlein. "I've been through the whole thing four times," he ruefully remarked, but he has not been as close to a genuine comeback for a very long time. He is hopeful of returning "in three to four weeks, provided everything runs according to plan. But you can never be sure."

good to see gorlitz back

Yeah, he was doing really well and had temporarily forced Sagnol to move to DM (even though Demichelis' injury helped that). We basically see what we'll have when he's back. Some players can catch up after such a long term injury, but others remain a shadow of what they used to be.

I changed Goerlitz's status to 'fit' in the Injury List. He's basically played 3 matches for the reserves, with his last appearance lasting 79 minutes. He's not completely in form, but he's more or less fit now, and could potentially play for the first team.

When is Gorlitz coming back? Or is he still on vacation leave????

SNAKE

Goerlitz has been back for some time now... you can refer to the injury list and this thread. Unfortunately though, my guess is that he's not performing very well and that's why he's remained playing for the reserves.

You can follow his progress on http://www.fussballdaten.de/spieler/goerlitzandreas/. He's played in 12 matches this season, as you can see on http://www.fussballdaten.de/spieler/goerlitzandreas/2007/.

Andreas Görlitz's contract runs out at the end of the season, but reportedly he is close to signing a contract extension. However, it seems that Bayern aren't ready to offer him as much money as he has in this current contract due to his injuries becoming quite of a set-back for him.

Get rid of gorlitz and keep lell

Bayern Munich are set to offer a new contract to Andreas Görlitz that will tie the full-back to the club beyond the end of the season.

The former Germany international joined Bayern from city rivals 1860 Munich in 2004 but tore cruciate knee ligaments only a few games into his first season at the club.

He returned a few months later only to re-tear the ligaments and spent a further 27 months on the sidelines during which time he underwent five operations.

The 25-year-old made his long-awaited first-team comeback against Arminia Bielefeld in February, and the Bavarian club are keen to secure his services beyond the end of his current deal.

Bayern are now set to offer Görlitz a two- or three-year deal, with general manager Uli Hoeness confident the contract "will be signed in the next few days".

Coach Ottmar Hitzfeld, who is without regular right full-back Willy Sagnol for the rest of the season, praised the attitude of Görlitz during his battle against injury.

He said: "Andreas Görlitz is very ambitious. He has worked hard on getting back whereas other players would be left behind after such an injury.

"He has deserved his new contract."

He provides good cover...Nice move from the management.

Goerlitz has extended his contract by 3 years.

friends its going to get confirm that Andreas Gorlitz will not be playing with us for the next season ..........FC Bayern hav loaned him out for a season to Karlsruher SC ...........what are ur opinions?

good idea i believe. He wouldnt be getting much playing time with our first team anyway so better off this way and give him some more match experience.

it's ok, but i think we should sign another midfielder. our defence is very good but our midfielder is the most wake position.

-----------------kahn
---------------rensing

sagnol----lucio--------vbuyten-------lahm
lell------demichelis-----ismaël-----jansen

ribéry-----vbommel----zéroberto---schweinsteiger
sosa-------altintop-----ottl------------XX

------------toni----------podolski
------makaay/klose---schlaudraff

görlitz must to play so is good for him. but we have a player less. we need one more player apart of klose. a midfielder

+ Hummels
+ Fürstner
+ Kroos
+ Santa Cruz (still no new club)
+ dos Santos (still no other loan target)


with Klose there are more than enough players there
