During yesterday’s training for the substitutes of Bayern Munich, he appeared ‘withdrawn’ and hardly spoke to his teammates.

Limited game time for Cancelo

The man who was named in FIFPRO XI 2022 was on the bench for 90 mins after playing just 12’ last game vs Union.

Bayern boss Julian Nagelsmann:

“João’s handling the situation well. I don’t have impression that he’s breaking off. Stanišić is a bit more defensive, that’s the reason”.

Will Cancelo start against PSG?

The chance for the 28-year-old defender to be in Nagelsmann’s starting XI against PSG is slim. According to sources close to the Bundesliga’s side, Cancelo will again, be on the bench in the return leg, with Stanisic is likely to start.

Bayern will take PSG at home in the second leg of UEFA Champions League return leg of Round of 16 this week.

Meanwhile, Bayern are still in every competition this season, and that could likely be promising for Cancelo until the rest of the season.
