Bayern Munich will be without Kingsley Coman and Noussair Mazraoui for several weeks after both picked up injuries in their midweek Champions League 1-0 win at Manchester United, coach Thomas Tuchel said on Friday.
“These are tough games. These two injuries on the right side hurt us,” Tuchel told a press conference. “Both are starters and both have played really well since the start of the season. They will be out for weeks.”
“We want to win but we recognise the class of the other team,” he said. “We showed against United what we had failed to show against Frankfurt last week.
“If we don’t match Stuttgart’s spirit and intensity then individual quality won’t make the difference. There is a reaction to come (for last week’s loss) and we want to show it on Sunday,” he added.
