Hansi Flick will present several new faces on Thursday against the fifth division club from North Rhine-Westphalia who have not lost points this season. “All new players will be used,” the Bayern manager promised on Wednesday, preparing much anticipation for a Cup evening in which the role of favorites remains out of the question.
DFB-Pokal, 1st round: 1. FC Düren – FC Bayern on October 15 from 7pm live on TV on SPORT1, on the broadcast and on SPORT1.de
Flick tests his newcomers against Düren and Fußball-Deutschland watches closely. The Munich team only have to play 44 hours in the Bundesliga with the newly promoted Arminia Bielefeld. In any case, the German champions expect six matches in just 16 days from Thursday.
Which newcomers from Bayern will immediately turn on and who needs to take a break? SPORT1 gives an overview.
Alexander Nübel:
I was SPORT1 Had already reported on Sunday, Flick confirmed on Wednesday: “We have decided that Alexander Nübel will play.” For the Schalke newcomer, it is the first competitive game in Bayern clothing. Flick left it open if it will be used throughout the cup. It would make sense because the 24-year-old had guaranteed bets when he signed. Nübels’ performance will not only follow Manuel Neuer closely. In his first appearance at FCB, he will be challenged directly, although Nübel will have little to do with the expected result. Neuer will return to goal on Saturday in Bielefeld. Nübel remains number two in anticipation of new deployments.

Tanguy Nianzou:
Bayern have yet to wait for their first appearance. The 18-year-old super talent suffered a complicated muscle injury to the front thigh muscles when he shot on goal during training for the French U20 team. TO SPORT1-Information, Nianzou should not fully start training in the team after his serious injury until mid to late November. Bayern want to carefully prepare their newcomer for the second half of the season, in which he is fully awaited. At first it was speculated that the young Frenchman could fully participate again at the end of October. He is currently in career training.
Leroy Sané:
FC Bayern’s transfer request has been used so far in three competitive matches (one goal / two assists). On September 27, during the 1: 4 applause in Hoffenheim, the 24-year-old suffered a capsule injury to his right knee. Ironically in the knee in which a cruciate ligament was torn in 2019. Like Nianzou, the national player is currently training running. His return to team training could take place in early November.
Marco Roca:
“He can bring a good balance and security of the ball to the game. He will need his time to internalize our idea of football. He will get the time,” said Flick about the new signing of Espanyol Barcelona. The 23-year-old, whose role model is Xavi Alonso, should start against Düren in central midfield. Behind Joshua Kimmich and Leon Goretzka, he’s planned as a backup for the moment. When he was introduced on Tuesday, he said: “I am a player who wants to grow and develop. Being among the best is one of my goals.”

Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting:
The storm giant wants to break against Düren, and he is allowed to. Robert Lewandowski, who drew a double for Poland against Bosnia and Herzegovina on Wednesday, will be saved against the amateur club. The newcomer to free transfer, most recently under contract with Paris Saint-Germain, can assert himself for the first time as the substitute for European footballer of the year. Lewandowski should return to the starting lineup against Bielefeld. Very motivated, Choupo-Moting says: “Yes, Lewandowski is the best striker in the world for me. But no striker can play every game. I am confident and I am sure that I will help the team with my quality. I want to get a lot of playing time. .. ”
Bouna Sarr:
Marseille’s surprise transfer is planned for the right side, mainly as a challenger to Benjamin Pavard. The 28-year-old is more offensive than his compatriot. “They were looking for a different player profile, an offensive winger. They hired me for this position,” explains Sarr. He gets his first loan as a right back against Düren. For Pavard, it could become a serious competitor. Who plays Bielefeld currently is wide open. Trend: Pavard, but Sarr can only surprise.
Douglas Costa:
The fact that Uli Hoeneß called him a “mercenary” when he left does not matter to the 30-year-old Brazilian. After his return, he wants to take advantage of his first strong season in Munich (2015/16). The winger has been part of the team’s training since this week and has made a new impression so far, although he was injured often recently at Juventus. If Costa is fit and works magic against Düren, nothing will stand in the way of his next appearance in Arminia. Sané, Kingsley Coman and Serge Gnabry have had outstanding competition. Costa says clearly: “I have matured in Italy and I have worked even harder on my body. Now I just want to show what I can do.” Sporting director Hasan Salihamidzic added: “We are convinced that we can bring Douglas back to the level of what he has already achieved here.”
