Unlucky Claudio Pizarro was out of contention for Felix Magath's early-season starting line-up even before the 2004-5 campaign had started. The player nicknamed 'Pizza' sustained a serious fracture of the skull on Copa America duty for Peru and had to accept a lengthy lay-off from competitive action, but he will be pressing his claim to a starting berth the minute his recovery is complete. The hard-running striker has come on nicely in his time at Bayern, scoring a total of 41 Bundesliga goals in the last three seasons and emerging as a leading personality in the dressing room. The admiration is mutual: Pizarro recently committed his future to the club until June 2007.
