FC Bayern Munich will face SC Freiburg in front of their home crowd on Sunday evening. Julian Nagelsmann could collect this eleven starter in the highest game.
At the end of matchday 10, FC Bayern Munich won the top match on Sunday evening (19:30 kick-off). SC Freiburg to the guest. The people of Breisgau currently have two points more than the German champions of the record, for whom the personal situation has eased a bit.
“It is up to us to deliver results, especially on Sunday, it is a top game,” said Julian Nagelsmann at a press conference on Saturday morning. “It’s an important game in terms of the standings, but also to improve our points average so that we can get back to where we want to be as fast as possible.”
SC Freiburg not only played a good season nationally, but also internationally, the Bayern manager praised. Christian Streich’s team has clear processes that can be seen in every match. “We see that there is an education behind it and the interaction between player and manager is good,” explained the coach, who also witnessed a lot of continuity to the guests of Breisgau.
“Again this year they have made good transfers and otherwise have a consolidated squad,” continued Nagelsmann. “What matters is to show our performances. It is up to us to play an important game.”
Neuer is still out – Davies is symptom-free
In addition to two longtime injured Lucas Hernandez (training after adductor injury) and Bouna Sarr (knee surgery), captain Manuel Neuer (bruised shoulder joint) is also absent for the maximum match. Kingsley Coman is also disqualified after the yellow and red card in Dortmund. “Manuel Neuer still has shoulder problems,” said Nagelsmann. “I hope it’s enough against Augsburg, but not tomorrow.”
Meanwhile, positive news from Alphonso Davies (after a bruised skull), Matthijs de Ligt (after a muscle problem), Serge Gnabry (after a knee capsule injury) and Jamal Musiala (after COVID-19), everyone should be back on the roster. “Jamal will train normally today, the exams were insignificant. As with the others, he will have to get off the bench first,” said the Bayern manager.
With Thomas Müller, Wednesday night in the Champions League in 4-2 away to Pilsen replaced after almost half an hour for back problems, Nagelsmann also optimistic. “Today he will do the final training normally. If nothing unusual happens there, he can play tomorrow,” said the 35-year-old.
Bayern’s awaited formation against Freiburg
TW: Sven Ulreich – After Neuer is still out, the 34-year-old guards the door of the record champions again.
RV: Benjamin Pavard – If de Ligt returns to the center of defense, the world champion returns to the right-back position.
IV: Dayot Upamecano – The former Leipzig is expected in the center of the defense on the right.
IV: Matthijs de Ligt – If the newcomer gets the green light, he will leave alongside Upamecano.
LV: Alphonso Davies – Davies is returning to the field after recovering from a bruised skull.
ZM: Joshua Kimmich – There is no way around the national team in midfield.
ZM: Leon Goretzka – “The one who plays and trains best is seeded. He played and trained well, so he will play tomorrow if he is well,” explained Nagelsmann.
RA: Leroy Sané – Since Coman is disqualified and Musiala will initially sit on the bench, the offensive will take place by itself. Sané should start as a right winger.
OM: Thomas Müller – The tenth position is reserved for the world champion.
LA: Sadio Mané – The new signing from Liverpool would return to the pitch on the left wing.
MS: Serge Gnabry – If the international has no problems in the last training session, they start in the center of the attack. Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting is the name of the alternative.
Bayern Munich vs SC Freiburg: expected game system
In Sunday night’s biggest game, Nagelsmann will likely field his team in a 4-2-3-1 system. If Müller acts a little more offensive, it becomes a 4-2-2-2.
