FC Bayern plays in Augsburg on Saturday.
Despite major personnel concerns, coach Thomas Tuchel announced an away win.
What does the lineup look like?
Update from January 27th, 12:37 p.m.:
Thomas Tuchel doesn't have much choice before the game against FC Augsburg: Due to several injuries, the Bayern team lines up almost by itself - at least in defense and in the defensive midfield.
The Bayern coach still has a few options on the offensive.
Thomas Müller and Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting, among others, are available for action.
Munich's expected lineup:
Neuer – Guerreiro, de Ligt, Dier, Davies – Goretzka, Pavlovic – Sané, Musiala, Coman – Kane
FC Bayern's hospital is getting bigger and bigger - Tuchel has to improvise in Augsburg
First report from January 26th:
Munich – Bayern is going on a limb.
But despite the major personnel concerns, Thomas Tuchel (50) is increasing the pressure of expectations.
“We will win the game and don’t care about what happened before,” announced the FC Bayern coach before the away game on Saturday (3:30 p.m., Sky) in Augsburg.
Munich have lost their last two games at FCA.
Tuchel emphasized at the press conference: “It’s all about tomorrow.
We have a duty and will deliver.”
However, the coach has to improvise for his plan - due to the injuries from the game against Union (1-0).
Substitute right-back Konrad Laimer (26) will be out for almost two months with a torn muscle fiber in his calf.
Central defender Dayot Upamecano (25) also tore a muscle fiber on Wednesday, but in the left back thigh.
In addition, sixth man Joshua Kimmich (28) is out with a shoulder injury.
According to
tz
information, he is wearing an arm sling.
“The shoulder needs to be immobilized first.
And then we’ll see from week to week how the healing process and the level of pain are,” said Tuchel about Kimmich’s injury.
“It's very difficult to make a statement,” said the coach about the midfielder's downtime.

We push the team through the game.
