Bayern Munich sporting director Max Eberl has defended teenage midfielder Lennart Karl after the youngster was criticised by honorary club president Uli Hoeness.
“Even superstars do not have careers without problems,” Eberl said in support of the 18-year-old central midfielder.
Hoeness recently said Karl still had a long way to go before reaching the level of Michael Olise.
Karl has made nine appearances for Bayern Munich in all competitions this season, scoring one goal and providing one assist.
