Konrad Laimer’s appearance in FC Bayern’s Bundesliga game on Friday evening (8:30 p.m. in the live ticker on t-online) is probably questionable. As “Bild” reports, the Austrian was missing from the final training session on Thursday. But the reason is a happy one: Laimer is not suffering from any illness or injury, but rather he is becoming a father for the first time. When exactly the child enters the world is questionable.
After the injuries to Sacha Boey and Josip Stanisic, a loss by Laimer would be extremely bitter for the Munich team because it would mean the loss of their next full-back.
In the top game against Rasenballsport Leipzig, coach Vincent Kompany can again rely on Harry Kane, Alphonso Davies and Serge Gnabry. All three players were able to complete team training and are an option. Kompany confirmed this at the press conference on Thursday. But it is still unclear whether there will be enough for the starting eleven.

According to a report by “Bild”, Serge Gnabry was able to complete parts of the team training. The Munich offensive player recently had to take a break due to knee problems. A game against Leipzig on Friday is still open.
Bayern have to do without Manuel Neuer (broken rib), Sacha Boey (ankle ligament injury), João Palhinha (torn muscle bundle) and Hiroki Itō (retraining after metatarsal fracture).
Defender Josip Stanišić is hoping for a comeback this year after tearing the lateral ligament in his knee. Star striker Harry Kane should be back against Leipzig after tearing a fiber in his right thigh. Alphonso Davies could also return against RB after a torn muscle fiber.

Without Harry Kane, FC Bayern’s game has a problem. This was also seen against Mainz 05 (1:2). There was a lack of a passing point in the center of the attack, a “real center forward”. Nevertheless, sports director Max Eberl is not thinking about signing a replacement for the goalscorer.
“Because we think that we have a squad that has the quality to achieve the goals we have set ourselves,” said Eberl after the German soccer record champions’ first defeat of this Bundesliga season and added: “How do you say it So nice: Bavaria isn’t a money-sucker either.”
Eberl admitted that FC Bayern had “great numbers”. “But we have great numbers because we always think economically.”

In FC Bayern’s away game against 1. FSV Mainz 05, Munich coach Vincent Kompany changed his starting lineup (from 3:30 p.m. in the live ticker on t-online). There is a surprise: For Dayot Upamecano, Eric Dier moves into central defense alongside Min-jae Kim. Leon Goretzka has to make way for Aleksandar Pavlović in midfield.
This is how FC Bayern starts against Mainz:
Because Manuel Neuer has to take a break after his rib injury and Sven Ulreich is missing for personal reasons, Daniel Peretz was able to celebrate his debut in the Champions League with FC Bayern. The Israeli national goalkeeper was between the posts against Shakhtar Donetsk (5:1). According to “Sport1”, the 24-year-old is celebrated as a hero in his home country.
