Remember, Dayot Upamecano had forfeited for the Final Four of the League of Nations with the French team in early June. The 26 -year -old central defender lacked the end of the Bayern season due to a knee injury dating back to the quarter -final won against Croatia at the Stade de France, in March.
“UPA” only resumed during the Club World Cup, coming into play during the first two games in the United States, against Auckland City (10-0) and Boca Juniors (2-1), before being established against Benfica (1-0 defeat). Vincent Kompany spared part of his holders in the third match but therefore took the opportunity to relaunch the tricolor international in the eleven.
Beaten by the Lisbon training, Bayern finished second in his group to face Flamengo, winner of his hen, in the knockout stages of the Club World Cup, this Sunday afternoon in Miami Gardens (10 p.m. in France, live free on Dazn).
Upamecano with tah
After having started with Josip Stanisic against Benfica, Upamecano forms the central hinge for the first time with the Jonathan Tah recruit this Sunday. Stanisic is shifted on the left at the expense of Raphaël Guerreiro. Michael Olise and Kingsley Coman are repeated on the wings, with Serge Gnabry in support of Harry Kane in the attacking sector.
Opposite, among the Rubro-Negro led by Filipe Luis, the left side Alex Sandro, the middle Jorginho, the former Marseillais Gerson and the ex-Lillois Luiz Araujo begin the game, but not Danilo.
The Bayern composition: Neuer – Laimer, Tah, Upamecano, Stanisic – Kimmich, Goretzka – Olise, Gnabry, Coman – Kane.
The Flamengo composition: Rossi – Wesley, Ortiz, Pereira, Sandro – Jorginho, Pulgar – Gerson, Arrascaeta, Araujo – Plata.
