"Josip Stanisic returned to the team during the clash against Koln on Wednesday. Kompany will hope the Croatian stays away from injuries since he can play in multiple positions. Die Roten didn't have fresh injury concerns from the DFB Pokal clash. Hiroki Ito has done some parts of first team training this week, but there is still time for him to return to the matchday squad. Jamal Musiala and Alphonso Davies will miss the game on Saturday"
"Manuel Neuer will return to the starting XI after Jonas Urbig played in the last two games. Bayern wanted Urbig to get game time before the DFB Pokal clash against Koln. Normality resumes on Saturday as Neuer will look to add another clean sheet to his tally for this season. Dayot Upamecano and Jonathan Tah will be starting in the heart of defense against Bayer Leverkusen on Saturday. Tah will be facing his former club for the first time since joining Bayern in the summer."
Bayern Munich trailed 1-0 after 30 minutes at FC Koln in the DFB Pokal but fought back to win 4-1. The victory extended Bayern's season-opening streak to 14 consecutive wins under Vincent Kompany. Bayern will host Bayer Leverkusen in the Bundesliga while Leverkusen arrive unbeaten in five league matches under Kasper Hjulmand. Josip Stanisic returned against Koln, Hiroki Ito has resumed parts of first-team training, and Jamal Musiala and Alphonso Davies remain unavailable. Manuel Neuer is set to return to goal, with Dayot Upamecano and Jonathan Tah projected to partner in central defence.
