FC Bayern is missing these players
In addition to Musiala, substitute keeper Sven Ulreich is also missing due to illness. Joao Palhinha (torn muscle bundle), Hiroki Ito (fractured metatarsal) and Sacha Boey (ankle ligament injury) are also unable to play. Neuer, Serge Gnabry, Josip Stanisic and Tarek Buchmann are still in advanced training – so these players are also not included in the squad for the game in Salzburg.
The Munich and Mozartstadters last met in the Champions League – in the round of 16 in 2022, when FCB won 7-1 in the second leg after a 1-1 draw in Salzburg.
“Of course I’m looking forward to the first test match, playing against Bayern is always something special,” said new RB coach Thomas Letsch: “In fact, my last win as a coach was against them. In the end, it will be a test game on Monday from which we want to take as much as possible with us for the spring season.”
