The DFL Supercup features a clash between two of Germany’s best teams this weekend as RB Leipzig lock horns with Thomas Tuchel’s Bayern Munich side. This massive encounter will take place at the Allianz Arena on Saturday. While all the headlines are about Harry Kane right now, Bayern Munich concentrate on the important clash coming up in the weekend. The opponent being RB Leipzig adds even more significance to the tie.
Regarding the team news, legendary goalkeeper remains out with injury and there’s no guarantee when he will be back. Added to that Yann Sommer got sold to Inter Milan. So that means there’s a bit of a keeper crunch at the moment. Thomas Muller and Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting both completed three training sessions with the team. They could be an option for the game if things stay as planned. However, don’t expect them to start just yet. As for the rest, aside from Raphael Guerreiro, Bayern Munich have no other significant injuries at the moment.
Leipzig, meanwhile, were also deprived of their first-choice goalkeeper for the majority of last season. Peter Gulasci is still a few weeks away from returning from an ACL injury. Despite a summer of high turnover in terms of playing staff, the likes of Dani Olmo, Timo Werner and Emil Forsberg will all provide a feeling of familiarity. At the top, Openda and Sesko are likely to be fighting to line up in front of a packed home crowd in Munich.
