EM 2021: Eight Bayern players in the squad - not all of them have a place in the starting line-up

There will only be a “normal” EM atmosphere in Budapest - Hungary allows full capacity (68,000) of the Puskas-Arena. The eight Bayern players in the EM squad will not care much about the name of their stadium, which they know very well. But not all of them will find a place in the starting eleven - Leroy Sané was already on the bench against Latvia and has to tremble *, Niklas Süle is probably only center-back number four. Leon Goretzka is probably only an option for the second game after his injury. Manuel Neuer, Joshua Kimmich, Thomas Müller and Serge Gnabry, on the other hand, have their place safely.
