FC Bayern reports knee problems with Neuer shortly before the Leverkusen clash - the new signing is also missing. FC Bayern is hoping for the return of the injured Dayot Upamecano (torn hamstring in the left rear thigh) and Joshua Kimmich (shoulder injury) for the game on Saturday.

In the table, the Munich team are second, two points behind Leverkusan, who are still unbeaten in the Bundesliga season. Alphonso Davies, Kingsley Coman, Konrad Laimer, Bouna Sarr, Serge Gnabry and Daniel Peretz are all injured.
