10 Bundesliga newcomers to watch out for this season

By Rune Gjerulff   @runegjerulff

Kim Min-jae, Noussair Mazraoui and Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting are all doubtful for Bayern Munich’s Champions League clash with FC Copenhagen after missing the final training session.

With Bayern Munich having already qualified for the knockout stages of the Champions League, head coach Thomas Tuchel could make some changes to his side for Wednesday’s clash with FC Copenhagen at the Allianz Arena.


Tuchel may have to make do without Kim Min-jae, Noussair Mazraoui and Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting after the trio missed the final pre-match training session, according to Bild.

If Kim is unavailable, Leon Goretzka is likely to drop back to central defense. Konrad Laimer could replace Noussair Mazraoui at right-back, with Aleksandar Pavlovic then likely to partner Joshua Kimmich in midfield.

Alternatively, Bouna Sarr could start at right-back with Laimer playing alongside Kimmich in central midfield.

Jamal Musiala and Matthijs de Ligt have already been ruled out for the German champions.
