There can be only one? Not with Hansi Flick.
TO SPORT1-The information will surprise both former number two Sven Ulreich and goalkeeper Alexander Nübel will take a seat on the bench in FC Bayern’s season opener against Schalke 04 in the evening (FC Bayern Munich – FC Schalke 04 from 20.30 hours on LIVETICKER).
As a rule, there is only one substitute for goalkeeper Manuel Neuer on the Munich bench, but especially in the case of Ulreich, Flick wants to reward his loyalty despite the fact that the future is still not 100% clear.
On Thursday, Nübel had commented on his situation before the duel with his ex-club.
The newcomer did not want to take a position on contract details such as guaranteed bets, but sees himself as Manuel Neuer’s apprentice and his challenger (results and Bundesliga schedule)
“I know what I can do. FC Bayern brought me in for a reason,” Nübel said before the first Bundesliga game. Try “to be patient as long as possible behind Neuer. We’ll see how things go then.”
Alaba is probably missing against Schalke
While the goalkeeper position will be filled three times, there is a big question mark behind the use of head defense David Alaba.
As Sky reports, the Austrian is not on the FCB squad. Consequently, Flick does not have to dispense with the defender because of possible intentions for change, but because Alaba suffers from muscle problems.

Alaba had recently made more and more headlines because his advisers and those in charge at Bayern had a real mud fight over contract poker.
In addition to Alaba, Kingsley Coman will also be missing. Jérôme Boateng, for his part, is once again an option after he suffered a hamstring in the Champions League final.
