Bayern faces a tough Leverkusen test in Bundesliga after a 6-1 win and injury concerns

Bayern Munich travel to the BayArena on Saturday for a pivotal Bundesliga showdown with Bayer Leverkusen, arriving off the back of a dazzling yet costly 6-1 Champions League victory at Atalanta. The emphatic mid-week win showcased the Bavarians’ attacking firepower, but it came at a price: further injuries have trimmed an already stretched squad.

The Italian triumph extended Bayern’s European winning streak, yet the dressing-room mood is tempered by fresh fitness concerns that could force rotation against a Leverkusen side eager to climb the table. With depth now under scrutiny, the league leaders must balance momentum with caution as they look to preserve their advantage in Germany’s top flight.

Kick-off in Leverkusen is set to reveal how Bayern cope with the quick turnaround and a growing injury list.
