Rummenigge questions Boateng form despite injury

Bayern Munich chairman Karl-Heinz
Rummenigge questioned the form of Jerome
Boateng following the 3-2 Champions League
defeat to Rostov.

Boateng produced a poor display in the

Bundesliga champions' shock loss in Russia,

with forward Sardar Azmoun leaving the centre-

back sprawled on the turf as he danced his way

through Bayern's defence to score the home

side's first goal.

The 28-year-old was forced off with a thigh

injury in the second half and is set for further

tests on the problem once the team arrive back

in Munich on Thursday.

Rummenigge, however, was far from impressed

with his performance despite his

apparent muscle problem.

"It stands out a little bit," he told Sky. "Jerome

needs to find a bit more calm again.

"I think it is too much for him since the summer.

It would be for the benefit of him and the benefit

of the club if he could come 'back to earth' a

little bit."

Bayern's defeat, coupled with Atletico Madrid's

2-0 win over PSV, means Carlo Ancelotti's side

will progress to the last 16 as runners-up in

Group D.
