FC Bayern is spoiled for choice against VfB Stuttgart when it comes to line-up.
Coach Julian Nagelsmann may not want Niklas Süle to leave.
Munich – Did Julian Nagelsmann give his players a magic potion or is it because of the Ibiza vacation that all the stars are bright and cheerful.
Before the last home game of this Bundesliga season, the FC Bayern coach can draw on the full for once.
The line-up of the new and old German champions is still eagerly awaited.
Can some professionals like Niklas Süle or Corentin Tolisso, who are about to leave Munich, play one last time in the Allianz Arena?
FC Bayern: line-up against Stuttgart – Nagelsmann is happy “Record this year”
"It's looking good, we have 24 outfield players in training today, I think that's the record this year," Nagelsmann rejoiced on FC Bayern Munich's game day PK before the game against VfB Stuttgart next Sunday.
Surprisingly, the press round took place at 9.30 a.m. at an early hour.
Maybe that's why Nagelsmann, who got up early, used an aid.
Next to Nagelsmann on the podium was a small bottle, apparently a smoothie shot.
When asked by tz, the trainer explained exactly what this "magic potion" is: "It's organic.
Passion fruit mango turmeric shot from Alfons (Schuhbeck, editor's note).
I can recommend it.
Tasty and probably healthy too.
I'll take a quick look.
Yes.
Quite healthy.” Mango has a lot of energy and is the most energy-rich fruit on the planet, Nagelsmann says he once read.
"I shove three of those things in every day," explained the coach with a loud laugh.

It is not known whether the FC Bayern players do the same as their coach and also rely on this "magic potion".
In any case, almost all professionals are fit and rested.
Only Joshua Kimmich, Alphonso Davies (both gastrointestinal diseases) and Jamal Musiala (cold) are slightly injured.
"But they will all be available," said Nagelsmann.
After the embarrassing 3-1 defeat in Mainz last weekend, Nagelsmann will not want to leave anything to chance this time and will call on his best eleven.
Especially since after the game there is still the honor for the German championship, for the young coach the first of his career - and as is well known, a win is a better way to celebrate.
Thomas Müller should be back in the line-up after recovering from illness and extending his contract, the same applies to winger Kingsley Coman after ankle problems and the rested Manuel Neuer and Dayot Upamecano.
FC Bayern: Lineup against Stuttgart – Süle only on the bench when saying goodbye?
Niklas Süle
will not appear in the starting XI, Nagelsmann has already more or less committed to that.
"As of now, I'm rather assuming that he won't start." Süle was allowed to start in Mainz and thus got his "treat" as a departure.

Nagelsmann emphasized that the 26-year-old was "very, very valuable".
"Maybe he'll get more minutes, that's not out of the question." Süle leaves FC Bayern at the end of the season for Borussia Dortmund and thus bids his farewell to the Munich fans on Sunday after five years.
FC Bayern: Lineup against Stuttgart – also Tolisso and Sarr before the farewell game
After the final whistle, it could also become emotional for other players if they were last allowed to wear the Bayern jersey in a home game.
“We have one or the other farewell on Sunday.
That's why we're already trying to put the squad in such a way that every player gets the right amount," announced Nagelsmann.
Corentin Tolisso, whose contract expires in Munich after five years, is likely to be among the players who have been dismissed.
Most recently, the Frenchman dropped out with a torn muscle fiber.
It is still questionable whether it is enough for Tolisso to play.
Another candidate for a change is Tolisso's compatriot Bouna Sarr.
A Sarr farewell is announced in the summer, the bench presser has several options.
Possible formation of FC Bayern against VfB Stuttgart
Neuer - Pavard, Upamecano, L. Hernandez, Davies - Kimmich, Goretzka - Gnabry, Müller, Coman - Lewandowski
