Thomas Tuchel is confident that the returning star will be key against Real Madrid in the UEFA Champions League
Bayern Munich prepared for their upcoming UEFA Champions League clash with Real Madrid with a crucial league victory over Eintracht Frankfurt. With their Bundesliga title defence concluded by Bayer Leverkusen, Thomas Tuchel and his team are now fully focused on European matters.
Bayern Munich’s Injury Concerns
Tuchel faces a delicate injury situation ahead of the clash against Real Madrid, with several key players sidelined or carrying niggling injuries. Jamal Musiala was rested due to a tendon problem, while Dayot Upamecano is expected to miss out with an ankle issue. Musiala's availability for the match remains uncertain, with Tuchel rating his chances at 50/50 to start.
Serge Gnabry was absent for the match against Frankfurt but is expected to be available for the clash against Real Madrid. Tuchel expressed confidence in Gnabry's ability to make an impact, stating, "I think he will play and score." However, Leroy Sane's situation remains uncertain, with Tuchel describing it as a "race against time" for him to be ready for Tuesday's match.
Champions League Focus
With their Bundesliga campaign concluded, Bayern Munich can now shift their full focus to the Champions League. Real Madrid, on the other hand, are still in contention for the La Liga title and will be looking to secure vital points in their pursuit of the Spanish crown.
Carlo Ancelotti's Real Madrid side needs at least five more points to seal the La Liga title, making their upcoming clash with Bayern Munich crucial. As both teams prepare to face off in the Champions League, the stage is set for an intense and highly anticipated encounter between two European giants.
Tuchel's Confidence in Gnabry
Speaking about Serge Gnabry's availability and impact for the match against Real Madrid, Tuchel expressed confidence, saying, "Serge will be available for Tuesday. I think he will play and score." Tuchel also provided an update on Leroy Sane, stating, "We’re evaluating Leroy’s situation day by day. It’s a race against time for Tuesday. I can’t make a prediction right now."
With Bayern Munich gearing up for their Champions League clash against Real Madrid, the availability of key players like Serge Gnabry and the uncertainty surrounding others like Leroy Sane adds intrigue to the matchup. Tuchel's confidence in Gnabry's impact provides optimism for Bayern fans, but the final outcome will be determined on the pitch as both teams vie for a spot in the Champions League semifinals.
