Probable Bayern line-up: Will Karl start again at Gladbach? | OneFootball

FC Bayern is challenged at Borussia Mönchengladbach. This is the expected lineup.

After his dream goal and being named "Man of the Match" in the Champions League against Brugge, the question arises: Will Lennart Karl also start in the Bundesliga match against Borussia Mönchengladbach?

The 17-year-old could once again be in the starting lineup – coach Vincent Kompany seems to trust the homegrown talent. FC Bayern visits Borussia-Park on Saturday (3:30 PM, live on Sky) aiming to continue their winning streak.

As announced, Jonas Urbig will be in goal, replacing captain Manuel Neuer. Kompany had already confirmed the goalkeeper change on Friday to give Urbig match practice before the cup game in Cologne.

In front of him, a back four is likely to form with Konrad Laimer on the right, Jonathan Tah and Minjae Kim in the center, and the young Paul Bischof on the left side.

In midfield, Joshua Kimmich and Aleksandar Pavlovic are expected to form the central duo again.

Luis Diaz is expected on the left flank and Lennart Karl on the right. The teenager recently impressed with courage, creativity, and his dream goal – now he could get his next chance in the league.

In attack, Harry Kane is likely to play slightly withdrawn behind Nicolas Jackson, who could once again start as the center forward.

He continued: "We must be ready to engage in duels, act bravely, and find our way into the game through small winning actions."
