Bayern Munich will face Borussia Dortmund in the 27th week of the German League at the Allianz Arena on Saturday night. Unfortunately, Bayern Munich will not be strengthened by team captain Manuel Neuer who has a muscle injury.

Coach Thomas Tuchel said, although Manuel Neuer was not strengthened by the main goalkeeper, Bayern Munich got additional ammunition with the return of striker Harry Kane and winger Kingsley Coman.

"Harry trained fully with the team yesterday. Every day he has trained more since Monday last week. Everything is fine, he will play," said Thomas Tuchel as reported by AFP, quoted by ANTARA, Saturday, March 30.

Meanwhile, England captain Harry Kane, who has scored 37 goals in all competitions for Bayern this season, has recovered from an ankle injury he has experienced two weeks ago.

Meanwhile, Kingsley Coman may have been prepared as a substitute because the French winger had only returned from a knee ligament injury for two months.

'Kingsley is an important factor for us. He's back in the team," said Tuchel.

Manuel Neuer could not be lowered because he was still in the process of recovering from the pelvic muscle injury he experienced while strengthening the German national team.

For the first time since 2010 season, Bayern and Dortmund have faced each other without one of the two giant German teams occupying the top position in the Bundesliga.

Bayern Munich are currently in second place with 60 points, 10 points behind Bayer Leverkusen who top the table. Dortmund are fourth with 50 points.
