Kimmich and Sanches to start for Bayern

Renato Sanches and Joshua Kimmich will start for
Bayern Munich on Saturday as the club prepare to
celebrate their Bundesliga title against Darmstadt.
Last weekend's resounding win at Wolfsburg,
coupled with closest challengers RB Leipzig
slipping up, meant Bayern secured their fifth
successive 'Salad Bowl' and coach Carlo Ancelotti
will give some of his fringe players the chance to
impress against a Darmstadt side whose relegation
is likely to be confirmed at the Allianz Arena.
He told a news conference: "Renato and Kimmich
will start in midfield on Saturday.
"[Kingsley] Coman has a slight problem with the
ankle and is not available - we hope that he can
play again in the coming games."
Kimmich has been used sparingly by Ancelotti this
season but the former Real Madrid boss is
predicting big things from him, as well as France
international Coman, over the coming years.
He added: "We are glad we have Kimmich - as a
midfielder and as a right-sided defender. In the
future, we will use him as a right-back - he should
be a very good option.
"Kimmich started the season very well and has
learned a lot. I'm sure he'll be even better next
season.
"Coman had problems at the beginning and has
missed some weeks but he will still be very
important to us.
"I have known him since he was a teenager. I took
him as a 15-year-old into the first team of Paris
Saint-Germain."
Kimmich has been earmarked as Philipp Lahm's
long-term successor when the former Germany
captain retires at the end of the season alongside
midfield veteran Xabi Alonso.
The club know they will have to recruit to replace
the duo but Ancelotti says all transfer talk is on
hold until the summer.
"This is quite normal. We are preparing for the new
season and wanting to get even better," he added.
"I know what we can do to improve and the club
has the same opinion as I do."
Manuel Neuer and Javi Martinez will also miss the
Darmstadt game but Robert Lewandowski and
Thiago are available despite their respective
partners giving birth during the week.
