After the defeat against Borussia Mönchengladbach, Julian Nagelsmann and FC Bayern are under pressure.

Now Cologne is waiting.

The PK in the live ticker.

• FC Bayern is a guest at 1. FC Köln.

• A few stars are returning to the Munich squad - but Leon Goretzka and Kingsley Coman are struggling with injuries.

• We accompany the press conference with coach Julian Nagelsmann from 12 p.m. in the live ticker.

Munich – There were only six: Borussia Dortmund took advantage of FC Bayern's mistake against Gladbach and reduced the gap to the leaders to six points.

Bayern let loose again in Cologne, the fight for the title in the Bundesliga could be exciting again.

In terms of personnel, Bayern had to lose a lot of feathers recently.

The Corona wave rolled over the club, against the foals Julian Nagelsmann drummed up ten professionals with great difficulty.

A week later, the situation has improved.

Manuel Neuer, Leroy Sané, Dayot Upamecano, Alphonso Davies, Omar Richards and Tanguy Nianzou return fit to the squad after surviving the corona infection.

FC Bayern: PK with Julian Nagelsmann in the live ticker – Goretzka and Coman are out

The failures of Leon Goretzka and Kingsley Coman have nothing to do with Corona.

Goretzka's knee injury is proving to be extremely persistent, and according to media reports, the national player was given a three-week break.

During the week there was still talk of a possible lightning comeback.

Coman, who extended his contract until 2027 during the week, still had problems with his thighs during training.

The Frenchman's torn muscle fiber from the game against Stuttgart (December 14) has not yet fully healed.

At the press conference on Friday at 12 noon, coach Nagelsmann will have to answer, among other things, how he intends to stop Cologne striker Anthony Modeste, who has been impressively accurate again since this season.

Steffen Baumgart's team is currently in sixth place and could turn out to be an unpleasant opponent.
