FC Bayern Munich - FCB without Kimmich and Goretzka for top match against Stuttgart

FC Bayern Munich will go into the top match of the Bundesliga against VfB Stuttgart with a severely weakened squad. National team players Joshua Kimmich and Leon Goretzka are both out at short notice due to illness. This means that coach Thomas Tuchel also has a serious line-up problem in defensive midfield. Goalscorer Harry Kane, on the other hand, who had also been ill in recent days, is fit for action.

Raphael Guerreiro and youngster Aleksandar Pavlović will replace Kimmich and Goretzka in the Munich starting line-up. However, Konrad Laimer will probably have to play on the right because Noussair Mazraoui is out injured. Kingsley Coman, who also suffered a calf muscle injury in the 1-0 Champions League win over Manchester United, will be replaced in attack by Thomas Müller, who is allowed to start again.
