Eleven coaches see Bayern as title favourites
Eleven coaches of the Bundesliga see Bayern as title favourites. In a survey by the German Press Agency, the coaches were asked about their title opinion. Eleven see the title defender again at the top. Six did not want to commit, did not express themselves clearly or did not answer the question. Only one has a concrete other club on the bill. Aufstiegstrainer Ralf Kettemann from SC Paderborn answered the question, who will be the champion: „VfB Stuttgart“.
Musiala misses the Bundesliga opener
Jamal Musiala will definitely not be in the squad of the German record champion FC Bayern against VfB Stuttgart on Friday. The plan of the Munich sees that Musiala will participate in parts of the team training in the course of the week. The duel with the Swabians comes therefore still too early. After his two collapses in the test games against RB Leipzig and 1. FC Heidenheim, Musiala has been training individually since last Thursday. Only after the training-free Wednesday will he join the team again. Possibly, he will be back in the squad for the 2nd game against FC Schalke.
Demirovic is supposed to change
The striker Ermedin Demirovic is supposed to change. Demirovic has been in 88 games since his 20-Mio.-Euro transfer from Augsburg two years ago, scoring 32 goals and providing 11 assists. With Pokal-Dreierpacker Pejcinovic, the Swabians already have a replacement in the squad. Currently, the responsible people do not plan to react externally to a possible departure of Demirovic. Only a planned loan of talent Jeremy Arévalo could then be a reaction.
What does that mean for VfB Stuttgart?
VfB Stuttgart hopes that these players will soon be healthy and play again. VfB Stuttgart has a positive form in the last five games. VfB Stuttgart has an important game against SC Paderborn 07 in the next week. VfB Stuttgart hopes that these games will be successful and the club will continue to rise.
