The 22-year-old was immediately taken to hospital and examined. The results were obviously ringing the alarm bells: "Initial investigations revealed abnormal laboratory values, whose importance in a comprehensive inpatient examination must be resolved," said CEO Klaus Allofs.

Hitzfeld is afraid to Franck

Munich - You are currently in a class by itself. Three games, three wins, 10:0-gates - Munich celebrates the best season start in club history, and cheered his fun-football player. Even opponents 3-0 at the recent Hannover 96 was not much more than a better sparring partner.
Bavaria's magical force leads every opponent mercilessly before, but now seems to have begun the hunt for the league attraction Franck Ribéry. "I've been a bit worried about Franck," said coach Ottmar Hitzfeld. He even sent an SOS to the referees: "You can only appeal to the referee that they have an eye on it. Every foul that not happened in the battle for the ball, just have to be punished. "
The Hanoverians, who were assigned for a total of 24 fouls by referee Thorsten Kinhöfer (Herne) with a second yellow card for Altin Lala (45.) and five other yellow cards, threw Hitzfeld "brutal fouls, without chance of getting the ball." "That will still increase," Hitzfeld fears for the future.
Lala started his only opponent Ribéry rudely from behind in the legs, then sliced the Albanians also at Ze Roberto - both times half the Bayern bench rushed excitedly to the pitch. "Today it was more than normal," said Mark van Bommel, Bayern Munich man for the rough usually.

Bayern general manager Uli Hoeness delivered himself for a fierce battle of words Lalas attacks with 96 coach Dieter Hecking. "I understand if the FC Bayern wants to protect his players. But I do not understand that since four man rush to the line and insist on it, "complained Hecking and even shoved behind a highly redundant phrase:" Everyone has now views its means. "
But that should prevent the arbitrators. For years, the League was no longer such an attraction such as Ribéry, therefore, the kicker must be stopped. Germany coach Joachim Loew had recently been heavily criticized the defense mentality: "Many celebrate themselves when they stop opponents brutally, without coming to the ball."
The insight into the league seems not yet widespread. Hanover Lala felt in any case wrongly thrown from the square. "The Bavarians are very strong, too strong, but plus referee. When Hitzfeld and Hoeness rumbrüllen on the sideline, the referee get scared. "
Referee Kinhöfer had since the appropriate comment at hand: "The Bavarians have the means - and Hanover, just different."
