FC Bayern with Müller and Gnabry: 19-year-old makes his debut
FC Bayern Munich will play their Bundesliga home match against 1. FC Heidenheim with internationals Thomas Müller and Serge Gnabry in the starting eleven. Coach Thomas Tuchel makes a total of five changes from the 2:1 in the Champions League against Galatasaray Istanbul. The 19-year-old Aleksandar Pavlović will make his starting XI debut at the Allianz Arena on Saturday. Konrad Laimer, who replaces the suspended Joshua Kimmich, has only made one substitute appearance in the top flight. Bouna Sarr is also new to the team.
Leon Goretzka is not in the Munich squad. The international, who is playing with a splint following a hand fracture, is missing shortly before the final international matches of the year due to muscular problems. Gnabry is playing in the Bundesliga for the first time since mid-September following his hand fracture.
The visitors from Heidenheim will face the big favorites with an expected formation. Instead of Adrian Beck, Jonas Föhrenbach, who won 2-0 against VfB Stuttgart the previous week, comes into the team.
FC Bayern Munich's opponents, 1. FC Heidenheim, will field Jonas Föhrenbach in place of Adrian Beck for their Bundesliga clash against the German giants. Despite the absence of Leon Goretzka due to muscular issues, FC Bayern's lineup will still include internationals like Thomas Müller and Serge Gnabry, as well as 19-year-old Aleksandar Pavlović making his debut, in their home fixture against 1. FC Heidenheim, who are currently fielding their usual Bundesliga formation, excluding Adrian Beck.
