FC Bayern Munich played the final training session for the Champions League game at Viktoria Pilsen with a badly decimated squad.
Before the bus trip to the Czech Republic, the national soccer player Jamal Musiala, who was infected with Corona, was also missing the more or less badly injured Manuel Neuer (shoulder), Matthijs de Ligt (adductor problems), Alphonso Davies and Serge Gnabry (bruised knee). In addition, there are Lucas Hernández and Bouna Sarr, who have been injured for a long time and are already confirmed as absent.
Coach Julian Nagelsmann will have to make some personnel changes on Wednesday (9 p.m. / DAZN) compared to the 2-2 win in the top Bundesliga game against Borussia Dortmund. Sven Ulreich, who concentrated on preparing for his second appearance of the season in training, should be in goal.
Mueller at it again
After all, Thomas Müller is available again after his corona infection. The 33-year-old attacker was in a good mood on the training ground. For the record champions, the Bundesliga home game next Sunday against second-placed SC Freiburg, which is two points better, is the more important game this week.
In the premier class, on the other hand, Bayern could possibly get the round of 16 ticket as early as this Wednesday (9 p.m. / DAZN) in the Doosan Arena after the ideal result of three wins. With nine points, they are clearly leading Group C ahead of Matchday 4 ahead of Inter Milan (six points), FC Barcelona (three) and bottom-placed Pilsen with no points.
Bayern won the first leg against the Czech champions 5-0 in Munich a week ago.
