Despite being without hospitalised head coach Vincent Kompany and seven first-team players, Bayern Munich claimed a 3-1 victory over SC Freiburg at the Europa-Park Stadion on Sunday.

With matches against 1. FC Magdeburg in the DFB-Pokal on Wednesday and Borussia Dortmund in the Bundesliga on Saturday coming up, German football magazine Kicker has provided an update on the players who missed the Freiburg game.

According to the report, captain Manuel Neuer is expected to be rested against Magdeburg, with Bayern hoping to have the 40-year-old back from his persistent foot problem for Saturday's clash against Borussia Dortmund.

Joshua Kimmich, who missed the matches against Arsenal and Freiburg following the death of a close family member, is set to remain unavailable against Magdeburg. However, he could return for the Dortmund game following the funeral, provided he feels ready to play.

Aleksandar Pavlović and Kim Min-jae, who have both been nursing minor injuries recently, could also return on Saturday after completing individual training at Säbener Straße on Monday.

Luis Díaz, who is recovering from a muscle tear, and Bara Sapoko Ndiaye, who recently underwent surgery for appendicitis, are certain to miss both of this week's matches.

Jamal Musiala is also expected to remain unavailable, having yet to return to team training following the muscle fibre tear he sustained while on international duty. However, the German international is expected to get some playing time before the next international break in November.
