Bayern appoints Dortmund doctor

The Bavarians have signed a number of their
rival's players in recent years and have now raided
their medical department
Bayern Munich have announced the appointment of
Borussia Dortmund doctor Andreas Schlumberger.
The Bundesliga champions have signed several
Dortmund players in recent years, with Mario
Gotze and Robert Lewandowski moving to the
Allianz Arena in 2013 and 2014 respectively.
Bayern have now turned their attention to
Dortmund's medical department after their
previous doctor - Hans-Wilhelm Muller-Wohlfahrt -
quit in April.
He ended his 38-year association with the club
after claiming he was blamed for the club's
Champions League defeat to Porto - an allegation
later denied by coach Pep Guardiola.
Defender Dante came off injured during the game,
prompting an angry reaction from Guardiola, who
appeared to sarcastically applaud his medical staff
amid a serious injury crisis.
A statement on Bayern's website from the club's
deputy chairman Karl Hopfner on Thursday read:

"We are delighted to have gained Dr Schlumberger,
a proven expert for our team.
"He will be responsible for the field of rehabilitation
and prevention from July 1."
