It must be frustrating being Thomas Tuchel these days. The former Chelsea and PSG coach is going through a dreadful crisis at Bayern Munich, with the axe of possible sacking still hanging above his head. On Wednesday night, the Bavarians managed to grab an unconvincing 1-0 home win against Union Berlin at Allianz Arena, but what victory was too costly for them.As many as three first-team players will be sidelined due to injuries they picked up last night, with the most worrying being the absence of Dayot Upamecano.Former Borussia man puts Bayern straight back in to the title raceThe French defender of African origins left the pitch near the half-time interval with a thigh injury. He’ll be out of action for at least a few weeks (from two to six), which will massively affect Bayern’s already injury-torn defence.”We are already without Kim Min-jae and now Upa got injured… It’s like someone put a spell on us. What is it about? I think he will be a few weeks off,” said Tuchel nervously after the game.#Tuchel on #Upamecano: “Bad. This is the classic: grab the back of your thigh while sprinting, then we can all imagine it. If things go well, a strain and if things go badly, then a fiber tear.” pic.twitter.com/9U09WLo2jF— FC Bayern English & Germany National team (@FCBayernGER) January 24, 2024 “An extremely difficult moment for us. The guy is an irreplaceable member of the first team in his current form. He was in top form. He had ambition, the desire to win. All this will affect us a lot,” added Tuchel.Beside Upamecano, injuries have struck Joshua Kimmich and Konrad Laimer, but they are expected to return sooner.##NAJAVA_MECA_7822115##
