In addition to Musiala and Davies, FC Bayern will have to do without Neuer, Gnabry and de Ligt against Viktoria Pilsen.
Big staff concerns at Bayern. In the premier class against Viktoria Pilsen, Munich not only have to do without Davies and Musiala. Three more stars are out!
FC Bayern goes into the fourth matchday of the Champions League with a severely depleted squad. With the second win against Viktoria Pilsen, the German record champions could already make the round of 16 clear should Barça not be able to win in the parallel game against Inter Milan.
Coach Julian Nagelsmann has to tackle the task in the Czech Republic without numerous stars. Jamal Musiala is known to be absent due to a positive corona test. Alphonso Davies gets a break after his skull was bruised in the classic game against BVB.
The captain is added to the absentee list. Manuel Neuer was unable to complete the final training session with the team on Tuesday. The 36-year-old is plagued by shoulder problems. Noisy picture Neuer has a shoulder joint contusion. Sven Ulreich should move into the goal for him, young goalkeeper Johannes Schenk is probably on the bench.
Serge Gnabry will also be absent in Pilsen. The 27-year-old still benefited from Thomas Müller’s absence in Dortmund, but suffered a knee contusion with a capsule injury in the classic. Gnabry is also missing from the squad that FCB announced on Tuesday afternoon.
Matthijs de Ligt was also not on the squad list. The 23-year-old central defender had to be substituted against BVB with adductor problems. Since Luca Hernandez will also be missing for a longer period of time with a torn muscle, the defensive staffing is thin.
Against Pilsen, Benjamin Pavard should move in alongside Dayot Upamecano. Ajax newcomer Noussair Mazraoui defends on the right side. Josip Stanisic will probably start for Davies on the left.
