SEE DETAILS https://sportsrock247.com/2024/04/05/heartbreaking-ne…beyern-superstar/ In a move that may provide Arsenal an advantage ahead of their Champions League matchup with Bayern Munich, manager Thomas Tuchel has added four additional players to the list of players who are doubtful for the match in addition to Leroy Sané.
The Bayern manager, who has several injury concerns ahead of the Champions League matchup with Arsenal, made remarks that BILD covered today.
Sane has only managed to complete a ten-minute warm-up during yesterday’s session, and a report from yesterday suggested he would not make it to the game.
That explained that the German international was still struggling with injuries and had failed to get fit during the international break, when he wasn’t in action because he was suspended.
He’s now been ruled out of the weekend game with Heidenheim but has been joined on the missing list by Manuel Neuer, who is still battling against a torn muscle fibre that he suffered during Germany training in Frankfurt two weeks ago.
Sane, meanwhile, is suffering from a new injury after already dealing with knee and groin problems in the last few weeks.
It means both are out for the weekend and touch and go for the clash with Arsenal, which Tuchel confirmed when asked about his squad status before also adding Kingsley Coman, Noussair Mazraoui and Aleksandar Pavlovic to his absentees.
“Manuel Neuer and Leroy Sané are not in the squad. They won’t be spared for Tuesday. They are not in the squad because it is not possible, so it is also a question mark for Tuesday,” he said.
