Lahm: No problem with Pep

Bayern Munich captain Philipp Lahm insists that he has no problem with being substituted - despite failing to complete 90 minutes in each of the last three games.

The former Germany international was withdrawn during the recent meetings with Nottingen, Hamburg and Hoffenheim, but the defender accepts the decisions of coach Pep Guardiola.

He told Kicker.de: "For me, it's no problem at all. I've done well in the games, so it's not an issue. It's not so bad."

Between 2009 and 2011, Lahm, who led Germany to World Cup glory last year, was replaced just once in 101 games.

However, Lahm has remained a key player under Guardiola, who took charge of Bayern in 2013 and promptly underlined his faith in the club captain by repeatedly deploying him in midfield.
