Neuer – Guerreiro, de Ligt, Dier, Davies – Goretzka, Pavlovic – Sané, Musiala, Coman – Kane
FC Bayern’s hospital is getting bigger and bigger – Tuchel has to improvise in Augsburg

But despite the major personnel concerns, Thomas Tuchel (50) is increasing the pressure of expectations. “We will win the game and don’t care about what happened before,” announced the FC Bayern coach before the away game on Saturday (3:30 p.m., Sky) in Augsburg. Munich have lost their last two games at FCA. Tuchel emphasized at the press conference: “It’s all about tomorrow. We have a duty and will deliver.”

Central defender Dayot Upamecano (25) also tore a muscle fiber on Wednesday, but in the left rear thigh.
In addition, sixth man Joshua Kimmich (28) is out with a shoulder injury. After tz-Information he is wearing an arm sling. “The shoulder needs to be immobilized first. And then we’ll see from week to week how the healing process and the level of pain are,” said Tuchel about Kimmich’s injury. “It’s very difficult to make a statement,” said the coach about the midfielder’s downtime.
