Anton Kade, recently sidelined with a muscle injury, is set to return to the FC Augsburg squad who face Bayern Munich this Saturday.

Speaking at his press conference today, coach Manuel Baum confirmed that the attacking midfielder will be available for selection.

However, Steve Mounié, Tim Breithaupt and Noahkai Banks will all be absent. The latter suffering a ligament injury on Germany U-21 duty. 

Regarding the game and the high quality of the opponent, Baum is focusing primarily on his own team and what they can offer.

"The crucial thing is that we concentrate on ourselves. Bayern have a solution for every situation – in terms of personnel and tactics. 

"Intensity will be more important than content. Everyone has to sprint like a madman every second so we can create pressure on the ball.

"From the opening whistle, everyone in the stadium and in the team must believe that we can win. Against Bayern, the probability may be lower.

"But without this belief, it will never happen," said the 47-year-old, looking ahead to the duel with their big neighbour from the state capital.
