Summary
- Goalkeeper Manuel Neuer will return for Bayern Munich's restart.
- Joshua Kimmich and Jamal Musiala will miss the match due to injuries.
- Bayern aims to extend its eight-point lead in the league standings.
Goalkeeper Manuel Neuer is set to return for Bayern Munich as they resume their Bundesliga campaign against VfL Wolfsburg following the winter break. Coach Vincent Kompany confirmed Neuer's availability on Saturday, providing a much-needed boost for the league leaders. However, the team will still be without several crucial players, including Joshua Kimmich and Jamal Musiala.
Jamal Musiala's return is still some way off, with Kompany stating that while the Germany international is progressing well from a fibula fracture and broken ankle, Sunday's match is too soon. Musiala participated in full training sessions this week, indicating a comeback is imminent but requiring caution. Sacha Boey is also unavailable for the upcoming fixture.
Bayern Munich currently sits atop the Bundesliga table with an eight-point advantage over second-placed Borussia Dortmund. The team has a strong historical record against Wolfsburg at home, aiming to capitalize on their undefeated streak this season and extend their lead with a victory.
