Bayern Munich host Bodø / Glimt at Allianz Arena on Thursday, September 10 (3:00 PM ET / 2:00 PM CT / 12:00 PM PT).
Bayern Munich will be without the suspended Min-Jae Kim and the banned Sacha Boey, while the injured Serge Gnabry, Bryan Zaragoza and Tarek Buchmann remain out and Michael Olise and Joshua Kimmich carry yellow-card doubts. Harry Kane still leads the line, with Luis Díaz and Lennart Karl offering support in behind. The injured August Mikkelsen, Haakon Evjen, Magnus Bech Riisnaes, Haitam Aleesami and Isak Sjong all miss out for Bodø/Glimt, though Andreas Klausen Helmersen and Jens Petter Hauge give them a threat of their own.
This is about as tough a litmus test as the League Phase offers Bodø/Glimt, who have shown in Europe this season that they can trade goals with anyone — an extra-time win over Union Saint-Gilloise, a 3-3 draw in the reverse fixture, then wins home and away against NEC. Bayern’s own firepower, with Kane carrying the kind of scoring touch that defined his last campaign, should make Allianz Arena a stern examination for a side more used to matching opponents than shutting them out.
