Bayern Munich team news: Injury, suspension list vs. Werder Bremen

Bayern Munich will be looking to make it 11 consecutive wins in all competitions when they continue their 2020-21 Bundesliga campaign at home to Werder Bremen on Saturday.

Hansi Flick's side won a crucial encounter with Borussia Dortmund 3-2 prior to the international break, moving three points clear of their rivals in the table in the process as well as remaining two points ahead of RB Leipzig.

After narrowly surviving relegation in a playoff with Heidenheim last season, Bremen have started this season more convincingly, losing only one of seven games and drawing 1-1 four times in a row to occupy a top-half position.

Corentin Tolisso withdrew from the French national team squad on November 15, with France manager Didier Deschamps later confirming that it was only a "slight problem" and "nothing serious," so the midfielder should be ready to replace Kimmich in the first XI against Bremen.

Bayern have no players suspended for the league contest.
