Berlin (AP) - As expected, the Dane Marcus Ingvartsen will take on the role of Berlin's injured top scorer Max Kruse in the Bundesliga home game of 1. FC Union against Bayern Munich.
Union coach Urs Fischer relies on a back four against the German record champions on Saturday evening and brings Sheraldo Becker into midfield as an additional offensive player.
Ex-national player Kruse had torn a muscle bundle in his thigh in the derby at Hertha BSC (1: 3) and will be out for at least eight weeks.
Old hand Christian Gentner initially only sat on the bench after an injury break.
Robert Andrich (red card suspension) and the injured Florian Hübner, Nico Schlotterbeck, Anthony Ujah and Joel Pohjanpalo were not there.
