Rotation after the CL. It was planned with Robben instead of Müller but Robben had to quit the warm-up. Sometimes you have to give some players rest... Thiago, Schweinsteiger and Martinez are all injured since weeks - Martinez has an ACL, Schweinsteiger something with his knee and nobody knows when his comeback is, Thiago is in the build-up but his comeback is open, too.

Schalke have confirmed the dismissal of Jens Keller as coach and the appointment of Roberto Di Matteo as his successor with immediate effect.
The Bundesliga outfit have parted company with the 43-year-old after just two wins in 10 games in all competitions and turned to the former Chelsea boss
Bayern Munich chairman Karl-Heinz Rummenigge says the Bundesliga is on track to overtake the Premier League.
The Bundesliga is currently third in UEFA's five-year rankings, but closing in on the Premier League all the time.
And Rummenigge has called on all German sides participating in Europe next week to pull out all the stops to ensure England's top division drops a position at the end of the current season, which is feasible.
"I think that the English are looking over to us with rather a bit of envy," he told Sport1 television.
"They may have high income, but on a sporting level, they are losing a bit of attractiveness compared to the Bundesliga.
"Not long ago, we were fourth in the UEFA rankings and now we are third.
"We've caught up a lot on the Premier League in recent years and I'd like to call on all Bundesliga clubs involved in the Champions League and the Europa League in the coming week to get as many points as possible.
"We can overtake England this year and that would be a big slap in the face for the Premier League."
Bayern just thrashed Bremen 6-0, while Dortmund keeps on losing, this time 2-1 at Cologne.
Gladbach(3-0 at Hannover) and Mainz(2-1 against Augsburg) are still unbeaten while the fourth unbeaten team(Hoffenheim) will play tomorrow at Hamburg.
Should also be an interesting week for us, as we host Limassol on Thursday in the EL(need a win) and Bayern on Sunday.
Bizarre decisions by Klopp today to play Gundogan, Reus, Kehl for 90 minutes each, considering they're all just returning from injury. Especially Gundogan. And even worse with a trip to Gala in 4 days.
