Bayern Munich Team News
Bayern Munich’s flawless start to the season has been made even more impressive by the sheer number of absentees in their squad. Jamal Musiala remains a long-term casualty, having not featured in a competitive match since the Club World Cup, and the German playmaker is not expected to return to action until 2026.
Defensive stalwart Alphonso Davies is also sidelined with a knee injury, with his last appearance for the Bavarians coming back in March. Meanwhile, Hiroki Iro and Josip Stanišić are both unavailable, nursing foot and knee issues respectively.
Despite the injury setbacks, Bayern can still count on the prolific Harry Kane, who will once again spearhead the attack. The England captain has made a blistering start to life in the Bundesliga, netting 11 goals already as he looks to extend his remarkable scoring streak against the club’s fiercest rivals.
Borussia Dortmund Team News
Borussia Dortmund also have injury concerns to contend with ahead of Der Klassiker. Club captain Emre Can remains sidelined due to a groin problem, depriving Edin Terzić’s side of their midfield leader and primary ball-winner.
Promising teenager Julien Duranville will likewise play no part after suffering a shoulder injury, while Argentine defender Aaron Anselmino is also expected to miss the trip to Munich with a muscle issue.
