FC Bayern Munich already has a lot of injuries to complain about. Now another star is apparently injured for the Bochum game.
FC Bayern Munich will apparently have to do without national player Leroy Sané in the starting line-up for the Bundesliga game against VfL Bochum. The “Bild” newspaper and Sky report this unanimously. Accordingly, Bayern coach Thomas Tuchel cannot rely on the winger in the starting line-up due to knee problems.
It is said that Sané still made the trip to Bochum in order to be able to help his team with at least a short assignment if necessary. According to the Sky report, Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting should replace Sané in the starting line-up. Matthijs de Ligt should also replace Dayot Upamecano in defense.
Sané has always been on the pitch so far
Bayern are under pressure against Bochum. Leverkusen’s victory on Saturday means the “Werkself” are now eight points ahead of the German record champions. A win is urgently needed if Bayern don’t want to permanently lose touch with the top of the table.
Sané has been an important player for Munich so far this season. He was on the pitch in all 31 competitive games and even started in all 21 Bundesliga games. Now he joins a long list of injuries: Alphonso Davies, Sacha Boey, Konrad Laimer, Kingsley Coman, Serge Gnabry, Bouna Sarr and young talent Tarek Buchmann are all currently out injured.
