Failure with fiber tear
FC Bayern has to do without Dayot Upamecano for the time being. The 24-year-old central defender from France has suffered a torn fibre. “He will be out for around two weeks,” said coach Thomas Tuchel at a press conference in Munich on Friday. Upamecano will therefore miss the home game this Sunday in the Bundesliga against bottom-placed Hertha BSC. Attacker Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting will also be out.

On the other hand, Leon Goretzka should be fine despite a bruised knee, said Tuchel. Kingsley Coman did not train on Friday and has a blockage, but the coach expects a possible assignment. Yann Sommer will be in goal, confirmed Tuchel, after the Swiss had recently been criticized for Bayern’s departure from the DFB Cup and the Champions League and for losing the lead in the table.
“He is a top professional and an incredibly good person, friendly, polite, open-minded. It’s not always easy to be in goal at Bayern. Yann is going through a phase where he might be playing a bit unhappily. It’s part of goalkeeping that you also have a bit of luck in the game,” said Tuchel: “He still has our trust.”
ℹ Personnel update: Dayot Upamecano will be absent from FC Bayern for the time being. The defender suffered a hamstring tear.
Have a good recovery, oops!
