Again bitter news for Sané
FC Bayern will also have to do without Leroy Sané against 1. FC Köln. In any case, coach Thomas Tuchel is hinting at some changes.
Coach Thomas Tuchel from FC Bayern will most likely have to do without Leroy Sané again in the Bundesliga game on Saturday (3:30 p.m.) against relegation candidate 1. FC Cologne.

The national player is still suffering from a persistent pubic bone injury and will be rested for the quarter-final second leg of the Champions League against Arsenal on Wednesday (9 p.m.).
Sane “showed a reaction” after the 2-2 draw in London. “It’s probably not enough for Cologne,” said Tuchel during a press conference on Friday. It’s now a question of “how much pain he can endure. Now the plan is that he can be there again on Wednesday.”
Tuchel does not believe that the offensive player will be able to recover from the injury this season. Rather, he expects “a reaction again and again” after a stress. This will also be the case with a view to the European Championships.

FC Bayern: Gnabry is also out
In addition to Sane, Serge Gnabry, who suffered a torn muscle fiber at Arsenal, will definitely be out. This is not the only reason why Tuchel is planning “a few changes” against Cologne.
This is happening less for reasons of rest before the Arsenal game. There is enough time to recover until then, said the Bayern coach. Rather, the idea is to “give rhythm to the players who have played less or not at all.”
Noussair Mazraoui and Raphael Guerreiro are in the starting line-up. Both are candidates to replace left-back Alphonso Davies, who was suspended against Arsenal.
Kingsley Coman, Thomas Müller and Mathys Tel could also start. According to Tuchel, Aleksandar Pavlovic, who was recently ill, will also get “a few minutes”.

Tuchel not on the bench due to suspension
Tuchel himself will not sit on the bench due to a yellow card suspension that he recently received in the 2:3 in Heidenheim.
He will watch the game “from the box” and will be represented by his assistants Zsolt Löw and Anthony Barry.
