After regaining the lead in the table, FC Bayern now has to present itself in the Bundesliga title fight at the weekend. The guest appearance at Werder Bremen on Saturday (6:30 p.m.) should be the next step on the way to the championship. One day before the game, Bayern coach Thomas Tuchel faces the media as usual.
sport.de accompanies the press conference from Munich on Friday from 11:30 a.m. in the live blog.
+++ Is the next blunder looming? +++
The past few weeks have been more than bumpy at FC Bayern. In the recent past, points have repeatedly been left behind, making the title race itself exciting. There was a 2-0 win against Hertha BSC recently, but again the performance was only partially convincing. Is there another setback against Werder? And how is Tuchel currently tackling the problem of the lack of form internally?
+++ Who will replace Leon Goretzka? +++
In terms of personnel, FC Bayern will definitely have to reschedule compared to the win against Hertha. Midfielder Leon Goretzka received his fifth yellow card last weekend. He will be missing in Bremen. Ryan Gravenberch would be the obvious alternative. Does Tuchel possibly reveal what he intends to do in midfield?
+++ Storm problem as a permanent topic +++
Since the absence of Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting, the record champions have been without a real striker. Most recently, Tuchel relied on Sadio Mané as a nine. But that didn’t work as hoped against Hertha. So does the Senegalese have to sit on the bench again? Who would be an alternative?
