FC Bayern Prepares for Tough Encounter Against Chelsea

FC Bayern is gearing up for an exciting Champions League opener against Chelsea, with both teams boasting a strong history in the competition.

In a surprising turn of events, Vincent Kompany has announced that it's unlikely for Nicolas Jackson to start in the game against Chelsea. However, the new signing is still expected to make his debut for Bayern against his former club. Kompany praised Jackson, stating he's not a backup but someone who can play every position up front.

The absence of Raphaël Guerreiro due to an abdominal injury has forced a change in the Bayern defence. Josip Stanisic is set to start in left defence in Guerreiro's absence. Unfortunately, Jamal Musiala, Alphonso Davies, and Hiroki Ito are still out with their respective injuries.

The full Bayern lineup for the game is as follows: Manuel Neuer, Joshua Laimer, Niklas Tah, Dayot Upamecano, Josip Stanisic, Joshua Kimmich, Aleksandar Pavlovic, Michael Olise, Serge Gnabry, Sadio Mane, Eric Diaz.

While Chelsea is traveling to Munich this season undefeated, several regular players are unavailable due to injuries. The exact starter for the attacking midfield position left vacant by Leon Goretzka's absence is unclear from the given data. However, Pavlovic is mentioned as a contender, but he is currently injured, and Tom Bischof is not yet considered ready for the first team.

The warm-up game for the match against Chelsea showed a lot of intensity, and it seems that Serge Gnabry retains his place in the starting lineup, edging out Jackson for the starting spot. It's possible that Goretzka might slide into central midfield alongside Kimmich.

Manuel Neuer is on the verge of his 100th win in the Champions League, a milestone that adds to the anticipation surrounding the match.

FC Bayern has announced its lineup for the Champions League opener against Chelsea, and everyone is fit for the game apart from Guerreiro and those with long-term injuries. The stage is set for an exciting encounter between two formidable teams.
