FC Bayern Munich will face RB Leipzig in the top Bundesliga game.
Coach Hansi Flick was expected to attend the press conference in advance.
The live ticker.
>>> UPDATE <<<
Munich - it's getting serious!
FC Bayern Munich * will be visiting RB Leipzig * on Saturday at 6.30 p.m.
Summit meeting in Saxony - and a preliminary decision in the fight for the championship title?
If coach Hansi Flick has his way, that is of course exactly the FCB scenario that is desirable.
The triple winner currently leads the Bundesliga with four points, and a win would lead the bulls to seven points.
After that, there would still be seven games to play, but FC Bayern can usually no longer take such a lead.
Lewandowski injury or not.
FC Bayern Munich: PK with Hansi Flick in the live ticker - how is Robert Lewandowski?
And that brings us to the big topic: How bad is it really with the Polish goal machine?
First there was a five to ten day break, then there was talk of four weeks.
Some experts even stated that such a ligament injury in the knee can take up to eight weeks - Lewandowski * himself apparently only wants to treat himself to 14 days.
In short: a knee puzzle *!
The only thing that is certain is that the goalgetter will not be available against Leipzig.
So the question is: who will replace the center forward?
Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting is nominally the Lewy backup.
But does Flick also let him run against RB?
Robert Lewandowski: Will the Bayern star be replaced by Serge Gnabry in the top game against Leipzig?
The more likely variant is: Serge Gnabry moves into the center of the storm *.
The German national player knows the role of the wrong nine and has also played it in past DFB games - with him, Leroy Sané and Kai Havertz there was always an interplay in the center.
It is quite possible that Bayern are now planning something similar and relying on a high-speed offensive series: Sané, Gnabry and Kingsley Coman.
Maybe Flick * can shed light on the darkness at the press conference before the top game?
The Bayern coach is expected at 12 noon for the media round.
As usual, we are there in the live ticker - you won't miss a thing.
