Team news & squads
Bayern Munich team news
Following his skiing accident last December, legendary goalkeeper Manuel Neuer is expected to be absent from Bayern's lineup until after the international break in early September. It seems likely that Sven Ulreich will once again be the one called upon to take his place between the posts.
For Saturday's Super Cup tie, Thomas Muller, Eric Choupo-Moting, and Gabriel Marusic have all been confirmed as unavailable. Meanwhile, new recruit Guerreiro will have to wait a bit longer for his debut, as a calf strain is keeping him off the field. Their latest signing Harry Kane will be hoping to make his debut very soon as well.
Bayern predicted XI: Ulrich; Pavard, De Ligt, Kim, Davies; Laimer, Kimmich, Goretzka; Sane, Gnabry, Coman

Leipzig goalkeeper Peter Gulasci is still several weeks away from making his return from an ACL injury.
Both Amadou Haidara and Lukas Klostermann are dealing with muscle strains, making it unlikely that they'll be risked. Additionally, Baumgartner may be held back from his debut due to a lingering injury of his own.
