Bayern Munich will play the seventh round of the Bundesliga in the 2023-24 season against Freiburg at Allianz Arena in Munich, Germany, on the morning of the 9th (Korea Standard Time). Bayern Munich is unbeaten in the Bundesliga this season with four wins and two draws (14 points), but its ranking has fallen to fifth place in the league. Bayern Munich, which has played one game less than its leading rival clubs, is unable to become the league leader even if it wins the match against Freiburg.
Bayern Munich is playing with three center backs this season: Kim Min-jae, Upamecano and DeLigt. DeLigt has been focusing on rehabilitation since suffering a knee injury against Bochum last month. Bayern Munich missed the first game of DFB Pokal in the 2023-24 season against Münster last month, with all three center backs, Kim Min-jae, Upamecano and De Ligt, suffering major and minor injuries, while Bayern Munich also played with midfielder Goretzka and flanker Mazrawi as center backs.
Bayern Munich, which is suffering from a famine at centre-back, tried to sign a short-term contract with former club legend Boateng but failed. Bayern Munich announced the failure of its contract with Boateng, saying, "Kim Min-jae and Upamecano are playing without pain, and Dett has also begun the return process. Although the center back issue has eased,' Bayern Munich reportedly felt burdened by recruiting Boateng, who is suspected of assaulting his girlfriend.
Bayern Munich said ahead of the match against Freiburg, "DeLigt is still out of the squad due to a knee injury." Bayern Munich should play with only Kim Min-jae and Upamecano as center backs for the Freiburg match. Upamecano is said to have been suffering from pain in his pubis since the end of the month.
The Bundesliga secretariat predicted Bayern Munich's starting list against Freiburg, predicting that Kim Min-jae and Upamecano will continue to play as center backs. The Bundesliga predicted Kane to play as a striker with Bayern Munich's starting list against Freiburg, while you, Musiala and Coman expected to lead the attack in the second line. Kimmihi and Goretzka are expected to form a midfield, while the defense is expected to be built by Davis, Kim Min-jae, Upamecano, and Reimer. The goalkeeper also predicted that Ulreich would play.
Bayern Munich coach Tuchel said ahead of the match against Freiburg, "We really want to win the last game we play before the A match break. But I know how difficult it is. We have to prepare well," he said.
