Plays in cup final
Laimer (back) was part of Bayern's starting lineup in the Pokal finale against Stuttgart on Saturday.
Analysis: Laimer has avoided an injury scare and should be fully fit to appear for Austria in the World Cup. He was active as a full-back on both sides during the season, finishing with three goals and 12 assists over 46 appearances (36 starts) across all competitions. Given his solid performance at the club level, he should have reasonable chances of starting for his national team in the summer competition.
Off at halftime
Laimer was forced off at halftime due to a back injury during Saturday's 5-1 win over Koln.
Analysis: Laimer remained in the locker room at the break following a back issue suffered in a challenge against Kristoffer Lund. Laimer will hope to recover in time for Austria's opening match at the World Cup against Jordan on June 17th.
Assists as substitute
Laimer had an assist while creating two chances during Saturday's 1-0 win over Wolfsburg.
Analysis: Laimer entered the match at halftime and set up Michael Olise for the lone goal in the 56th. The versatile Laimer has combined for three assists, eight chances created and nine crosses over his last three league appearances.
Two assists Saturday
Laimer assisted twice to go with one shot (zero on goal), six crosses (three accurate) and three chances created in Saturday's 4-3 victory over Mainz. In addition, he was given a yellow card in the 33rd minute.
Analysis: Laimer came up with a double Saturday, although it was not with goals, instead earning two assists in the win. This gives the defender an eighth assist this season, also adding three goals. He remains a primary full-back, earning 20 starts in 26 appearances.
