Bayern Munich Host Short-Handed Werder Bremen on Friday

Vincent Kompany urges focus, with Bayern juggling a lengthy injury list.

Overview

Kickoff is Friday at the Allianz Arena at 8:30 p.m. local time (2:30 p.m. ET), with broadcast on ESPN2 and ESPN Select.
Bayern enter unbeaten with seven wins from seven, fresh off victories over Chelsea in the Champions League and Hoffenheim in the league.
Multiple Bayern regulars are out, including Jonas Urbig, Kim Min-Jae, Alphonso Davies, Hiroki Ito, Josip Stanisic and Jamal Musiala.
Werder sit 14th with four points from four matches and report absences for Julian Malatini, Maximilian Wöber, Olivier Deman, Niklas Stark and Mitchell Weiser, with Samuel Mbangula doubtful.
Kompany says Bayern will not take Werder lightly and want to keep the points in Munich, as previews cast the matchup as lopsided and publish provisional lineups.
