Thomas Tuchel relies on Leroy Sané for his first starting eleven as coach of FC Bayern Munich. The football professional who was last considered for the national team is said to be in the starting XI against Borussia Dortmund.
Back in the starting lineup is Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting. The attacker missed the 2-1 draw in Leverkusen, the last game under coach Julian Nagelsmann, due to back problems. Jamal Musiala, who left the DFB selection because of a muscle fiber tear, is an option on the substitutes’ bench.
At Dortmund, regular goalkeeper Gregor Kobel and national player Julian Brandt are back after injuries. Karim Adeyemi and Youssoufa Moukoko are on the bench with the leaders after their breaks.
