Manuel Neuer and Joshua Kimmich are expected to return to the starting XI after being given a break in the win against Heidenheim. The rest of the team is still shrouded in uncertainty, with several players returning from extended post-World Cup breaks. Harry Kane, Michael Olise, and Dayot Upamecano were only given 30 minutes on their return from extended post-World Cup breaks. Kane was lively after entering the fray at the Voith-Arena and may feel a little disappointed not to have made the scoresheet.
Luis Díaz has been in sensational form since returning from his FIFA World Cup exploits with Colombia. The winger has been joined by Ismael Saibari, who was brought on to replace Tom Bischof in Saturday's win over RB Leipzig and promptly teed up Jamal Musiala for Bayern's third goal. Musiala's availability remains up in the air after being forced off against Leipzig and Heidenheim with a neurological issue.
Lennart Karl and Serge Gnabry are still working their way back from injuries, which will put Bayern's depth and options to the test.
