Munich (SID) – Bayern Munich wants to counter the accusation of distortion of competition in the relegation battle with seven Ibiza “holidaymakers”. In addition, coach Julian Nagelsmann relies on captain Manuel Neuer, Dayot Upamecano, Thomas Müller and Kingsley Coman against VfB Stuttgart (5:30 p.m. / DAZN), who are said not to have participated in the much-discussed “team-building measure” on the party island.
Leroy Sane (ill) and Jamal Musiala (not fit to play after an infection) are not available at short notice. As announced by Nagelsmann, future Dortmund player Niklas Süle will initially be on the bench for his last home game in a Bayern jersey. In his place, Tanguy defends Nianzou.
Bayern have already been crowned champions and, after the game, will receive the trophy for the tenth time in a row from new DFL boss Donata Hopfen. VfB urgently needs points in the relegation battle.
