FC Bayern's Bundesliga Troubles: Coman Out, Kane Doubtful
Bayern Munich, the German soccer champions, are facing a formidable challenge in their upcoming match against VfB Stuttgart, with key players Kingsley Coman and Harry Kane potentially sidelined due to injuries.
The duo is added to a list of concerns spanning Bayern's usually robust defense, with Serge Gnabry also ruled out due to a muscle tendon injury. Bayern's last home game of the year, airing on Sat.1 and DAZN, will put their offensive strength to the test.
Aging Veteran Rises to the Challenge
In the absence of their injured stars, veteran Thomas Müller could once again step into the limelight. Coach Tuchel has indicated that Müller is in contention to start, showing keen interest in the experienced player's prowess in top-tier games.
"Thomas is back in contention, and he deserves a starting spot," Tuchel shared, adding, "He's been training brilliantly, and his performance against Manchester United as a substitute was impressive."
Müller's versatility in play style and position gives coach Tuchel an additional arsenal to utilize in the sold-out Allianz Arena on Saturday night.
Depth and Versatility
Should the coach opt to start Müller, he can be deployed on either wing or in a striking role, depending on the team's needs. Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting and Mathys Tel are alternative attackers in Bayern's rotation.
Top Scoring Threats
Despite the potential absences of Kane and Coman, Bayern's offensive prowess remains formidable, ranked first in the Bundesliga, with 44 goals in 13 games. Loss of their creative force, who contributes to more than half of Bayern's goals, would be a considerable setback.
Kane's versatility, as both a top scorer (with 18 goals) and provider of assists (amounting to five), will be sorely missed by the squad. The Englishman has proven to be a potent threat in Bundesliga games. In the upcoming match, he is expected to face off against Serhou Guirassy, the third-placed Stuttgart's prolific striker with 16 goals.
