Could Florian Wirtz be ready for the World Cup?

According to a report from Sport Bild (as captured by @iMiaSanMia), former Bayern Munich manager and current Germany boss Hansi Flick could still include Bayer Leverkusen ace Florian Wirtz in his squad for the World Cup in Qatar:

Hansi Flick could still take Florian Wirtz to the World Cup if he’s physically fit and has Bundesliga minutes in his legs. The coach is in close contact with Wirtz, motivating him but without putting pressure on him. Return in team training expected mid October.

Wirtz’s comeback from an ACL surgery appears be on schedule as he recently started working with the ball again at Leverkusen. Still, an injury of this magnitude is nothing to be trifled with. The physical and mental recovery can take much longer than simply being cleared by a doctor.

The old adage goes that you don’t really feel 100% until the second year after an ACL tear. Some players never get fully back physically or mentally. Hopefully Wirtz will take his time and make sure he is fully prepared for the physical aspect of football — and also with the confidence to do what he was capable of doing on the pitch prior to his surgery.

Argentina ran out comfortable winners with second-half goals from Brighton's Alexis Mac Allister and Manchester City striker Julian Alvarez but the game still held real drama and jeopardy in the closing stages as Poland knew another goal conceded, or another goal for Mexico against the Saud...

"Man City released me... so I drove around the corner and signed for Manchester United"

"City had loads of big names and would become champions, but United were already champions. The energy was different, the aura. I fell in love with it straight away." "My contract was up and City released me and signed a paper saying I could leave on a free. "The next day, I drove to City’s training ground at Carrington to collect my stuff.  The reserve manager told me I had to train, but I told him I was leaving. I didn’t say where. "Then I drove around the corner and signed for Manchester United." There have been many people who have played football for both Manchester United and Manchester City, but very few have ever made the direct switch between the two clubs. Denis Law and Carlos Tevez are the most notable for directly swapping red for sky blue, with Jadon Sancho the most recent example of a player to represent both sides of the city. It was deadline of the 2012 transfer window when young defender Frederic Veseli crossed the great divide. The promis...
