Nagelsmann out with Covid-19, but Bayern hope for a home full house

The relaxing of regulations in Bavaria means that for the first time since the pandemic hit Germany in March 2020, Bayern could welcome a sell-out home crowd of 75,000.

Tickets are however still available and supporters need to be fully vaccinated or show a negative Covid-19 test result.

"The boys are really happy to be able to play in an emotionally charged Allianz Arena again, that gives them extra motivation," said Bayern president Herbert Hainer this week.

"The excitement within the team for full stands is huge as it is in the whole club."

However, Nagelsmann, also missed Wednesday's 4-0 win at Benfica.

The 34-year-old is isolating at home after testing positive for coronavirus despite being fully vaccinated and could be away for up to two weeks.

In his absence, assistant coaches Xaver Zembrod and Dino Toppmoeller will be passing on his instructions.
