Munich (dpa) - Coach Hansi Flick is building the starting line-up of FC Bayern Munich, as expected, in the top game of the Bundesliga against RB Leipzig.
With seven changes compared to the 1-1 draw in the Champions League against Atlético Madrid, the front runner will face the table runner-up in the Allianz Arena on Saturday evening.
Surprisingly, Leroy Sané remains in the starting line-up, Serge Gnabry is back on the bench like in Spain last Tuesday.
Lucas Hernández is temporarily absent from Munich due to thigh problems.
According to coach Hansi Flick, this is a precautionary measure: "It is important that we protect him," said the coach to the TV broadcaster Sky.
David Alaba should probably defend on the left.
With the guests from Saxony, coach Julian Nagelsmann makes three changes compared to the 4: 3 in the Champions League against Basaksehir.
The young Justin Kluivert starts surprisingly on the offensive.
Christopher Nkunku and Tyler Adams also begin.
Bayern could distance the pursuer with a home win by five points.
