Bayern Munich coach Thomas Tuchel confirmed that Leroy Sane’s position on participating with his team against Real Madrid in next Tuesday’s Champions League match is subject to many doubts.
Sane has been absent from the Bavarian giant for days after suffering an injury to his pubic muscle, and his absence from the match against Eintracht Frankfurt on Saturday in the German League, the last before the Real Madrid summit, was confirmed.
During the press conference, Tuchel was asked about Sane’s condition and the possibility of him joining the Real Madrid match, and he replied, “We have to see his condition day after day to determine the extent of his readiness for the match.”
He also added, “We are in a race against time, but the good news is that he is now training with fitness trainers, but it is still difficult to determine his position on the Real Madrid match. I cannot predict that.”
At the same time, Tuchel confirmed that Serge Gnabry is back and can participate against Frankfurt, and will undoubtedly participate against Real Madrid.
Dayot Upamecano suffered an injury in training that could keep him out of the Frankfurt match, but he is expected to participate normally in the match against Real Madrid.
It is noteworthy that the list of Bayern Munich absences against Real Madrid includes Sacha Boye, Bouna Sarr and Kingsley Coman, who will not return to the stadiums before the end of the current season due to various injuries.
