French world champion Bayern Corentin Tolisso, who suffers from a muscle problem, will be spared on Sunday and will not play against Schalke (3:30 p.m.), the red lantern of the Bundesliga, Bavarian coach Hansi Flick announced on Friday. “We’re not taking any chances,” said Flick, who hasn’t made the midfielder a clear start to his team this season. Tolisso has only started six times in the 17 first leg, and has entered six times as a substitute. He is helmed in his post by the German international duo Joshua Kimmich / Leon Goretzka, whose complementarity currently gives the team its balance. The third midfielder of 4-3-3 Munich, Thomas Müller, evolves in a completely different register, supporting the attackers. For the first day of the return matches, Bayern travel to Schalke, whom they beat 8-0 at the start of the season.
