Bayern Munich’s Starting XI Against RB Leipzig

Bayern Munich is set to face RB Leipzig at the Red Bull Arena on Saturday, aiming to maintain their unbeaten streak in the Bundesliga.

Bayern leads the league with an 11-point advantage, having only dropped points twice this season. On the other hand, Leipzig is looking to bounce back from a heavy 6-0 defeat to Bayern earlier this season.

Bayern Munich team news

Bayern will be without Konrad Laimer for a while due to a torn muscle fibre in his left calf, which he sustained during a 3-1 win against 1. FC Köln. After a medical assessment, the club expects him to be out for three to four weeks.

In addition, Josip Stanisic is recovering from an ankle injury and is not expected to play this month. Sacha Boey is also doubtful due to illness, limiting options for the team’s defensive lineup. Forward Nicolas Jackson is unavailable as he is participating in the Africa Cup of Nations.

However, there is good news for the attack. Jamal Musiala plans to return following a six-month absence due to a serious leg injury sustained during the Club World Cup in July. Coach Vincent Kompany mentioned that Musiala would play if he passes the final training session without issues, highlighting his positive impact on the team. Joshua Kimmich and Alphonso Davies are also expected to be available for selection, with Kimmich possibly ready to play this match.

Bayern Munich predicted lineup

Potential starting XI: Neuer; Laimer, Upamecano, Tah, Ito; Pavlovic, Goretzka; Olise, Gnabry, Diaz; Kane
