As in the Champions League against Viktoria Pilsen, Manuel Neuer is also out against SC Freiburg. Apart from the captain, FC Bayern can draw on almost unlimited personnel.

At the matchday press conference on Saturday morning, Julian Nagelsmann explained that Neuer still had problems with his shoulder and was being replaced by Sven Ulreich. On Wednesday in the DFB Cup at FC Augsburg, the Bayern coach is hoping for the return of his regular number one.

With the exception of Kingsley Coman (suspended yellow-red) and Lucas Hernandez (torn adductor muscles), the record champions will probably have all of their last injured players available again. Both Alphonso Davies, who had to be substituted against BVB due to a contusion of the skull, and Thomas Müller, who left the pitch against Pilsen early due to back problems, are now free of symptoms again.

Nagelsmann was also confident about Matthijs de Ligt (muscular problems in the left hip) and Serge Gnabry (capsular injury in the knee joint). Jamal Musiala is also returning to the squad after his corona infection. However, the youngster will "probably have to come off the bench first, sit out after five days," announced Nagelsmann.
