Before the game, coach Thomas Tuchel answered questions from journalists. sport.de accompanies the PK of the German record champions today from 11:30 a.m at this point in the LIVE blog.
+++ Is Manuel Neuer missing from FC Bayern in the top game? +++
Joshua Kimmich and Dayot Upamecano have been training with FC Bayern again since Wednesday – news that should significantly reduce the personnel concerns that have recently been not particularly low.
There is also good news from defense chief Min-jae Kim: The South Korean, who surprisingly lost to Jordan in the semi-finals of the Asian Cup (0-2), is also back on Säbener Straße. The 27-year-old was also part of the team training on Thursday.
The Munich team is worried about goalkeeper Manuel Neuer. The captain had to take a break on Wednesday and only completed individual running sessions on Thursday. Tuchel will explain what the plan is for the 37-year-old.
There is also a question mark over winter newcomer Bryan Zaragoza (flu infection).
+++ FC Bayern wants to get back to the top of the table +++
For FC Bayern, Saturday is also about pushing Bayer Leverkusen off the top of the table and thus silencing the critical voices that have recently become louder and louder.
The encounter is also particularly explosive on the sidelines: Xabi Alonso, a former FC Bayern professional, is coaching the Werkself and has already been discussed several times as a potential successor to Thomas Tuchel.
On Thursday, long-time CEO Karl-Heinz Rummenigge openly admitted that he had already wanted to lure the Spaniard into FC Bayern’s coaching team. Tuchel is also likely to be confronted with this issue at the PK.
