Bayern Munich striker Robert Lewandowski says he is fitter than ever ahead of Sunday's Bundesliga clash at FC Union Berlin and taking advice from World Cup record-holder Miroslav Klose.
The 41-year-old Klose, who holds the record of 16 goals scored at World Cup finals, has joined Bayern's staff and will be next to head coach Hansi Flick on the bench on Sunday.

The Bundesliga will become the first top European league to return this weekend during the pandemic with games behind closed doors.Mid-table Union have beaten previous league leaders Dortmund and Moenchengladbach this season, but the terraces at their compact east Berlin stadium will this time be empty.
He is now learning from ex-Germany striker Klose, who scored 53 goals in 150 games for Bayern during his career and last week signed a year-long contract to join the coaching staff.
