Bayern Munich will miss the efforts of its veteran goalkeeper, Manuel Neuer, in its upcoming match tomorrow, Saturday, against its guest and traditional rival, Borussia Dortmund, in the top matches of the 27th round of the German Football League (Bundesliga).

Thomas Tuchel, Bayern’s coach, said in a press conference today, Friday, “Manuel Neuer will miss the match. Unfortunately, Alex Pavlovic is not ready either. Raphael Guerrero also has not returned to us yet. And Sasha Boye was injured this week. These four are out against Dortmund.”

Neuer suffered an injury to the adductor muscle while he was with the German national team recently, which led to his exclusion from the team’s friendly matches against France and the Netherlands. Sven Ulrich is expected to guard the team’s den tomorrow at the Allianz Arena.

Tuchel revealed, “It’s not about taking risks. The pain is simply too strong. We hope that a week will be enough and he will be in goal against Heidenheim.”

On the other hand, the experienced English striker Harry Kane, the top scorer in the Bundesliga this season, trained with the team again, after recovering from the ankle injury he suffered while playing with his country during the international calendar, as a result of which he missed the Three Lions team against the national team. Brazil and Belgium are friendly.

Meanwhile, wingers Kingsley Coman and Serge Nabry will return to Bayern’s lineup for the match.

Tuchel revealed: “Harry trained fully with the team yesterday, Thursday, and his things are improving every day. Everything is fine, and he will play the match.”

Bayern’s chances of retaining the German League title for the 12th consecutive season seem slim, as it is currently in second place, 10 points behind Bayer Leverkusen (leader), with only 8 stages remaining until the end of the competition.

Tuchel concluded his statements by saying, “There will be no change in the schedule. But we can win this classic confrontation. It is an emotional and important match in the German League in light of the long history of competition between the two clubs.”
