Bayern Munich is probably traveling to the Champions League away game at Galatasaray Istanbul with some personnel problems. According to coach Thomas Tuchel, none of the injured players are expected to return to the squad for the game on Tuesday (6.45 p.m./PrimeVideo and in the live ticker at ntv.de). “We don’t have many options,” he said after the Bundesliga win at FSV Mainz 05 (3-1).
In addition to defender Dayot Upamecano (rebuilding after a muscle injury), Serge Gnabry (broken forearm) and Raphaël Guerreiro (torn muscle fiber) are also still out. For Noussair Mazraoui, who was missing in Mainz due to muscular problems, the “tendency is rather no, but there is some hope,” said Tuchel.
Joshua Kimmich was immediately back on the field for the entire season in Mainz after recovering from a flu-like infection. Leon Goretzka, who had returned injured from the DFB team’s trip to the USA, played with a “thick ankle” and also injured himself in the game the hand. The difficult victory against Rheinhessen was “very draining”, “that’s why it feels great,” emphasized the Bayern coach, who gave his team “big praise” despite the sometimes “negligent” performance.
