Even at Bayern, where any one loss tends to tip the club into crisis mode, that’s a lot to deal with.Newcastle ends Man United’s defense of League Cup with 3-0 win in latest blow for Ten HagAll the more so for Kane in his first “Klassiker” in front of Dortmund’s famed — and loud — “Yellow Wall” of fans. Kane indicated last week that his experience of the North London rivalry between Tottenham and Arsenal might come in handy.
History is on Bayern’s side against Dortmund — it hasn’t lost to its rival since 2019 — but de Ligt’s injury leaves coach Thomas Tuchel scrambling to patch together the defense. De Ligt hasn’t officially been ruled out of Saturday’s game but Tuchel said Wednesday the injury was “very painful” and looked like a repeat of a knee problem which caused him to miss nearly a month already this season.
Bayern doesn’t have any other fit central defenders in its first team, and the right-backs who could have covered that role last season, Benjamin Pavard and Josip Stanisic, were allowed to leave the club in the offseason.
