MUNICH (Germany):
Bundesliga
leaders
Bayern Munich
play struggling
Stuttgart
with a reduced squad on Tuesday as coach
Julian Nagelsmann
said he had some tough calls to make to cover injuries.
The German champions have been left with just two fully fit midfielders, Spain's Marc Roca and Frenchman Michaël Cuisance for the trip to Stuttgart.

Joshua Kimmich, Marcel Sabitzer and Jamal Musiala are all injured while Corentin Tolisso picked up a painful knock in the weekend win over Mainz that lifted Bayern six points clear at the top.
"Tolisso is injured but we might have to risk playing him," said Nagelsmann, without specifying the injury.
The coach had a similar approach to 18-year-old Musiala, who broke a bone in his hand against Mainz.
"We should wait, but theoretically he could play," continued Nagelsmann.
"And it's the same with Leon Goretzka. We'll make a decision on his knee depending upon how painful it is."
Kimmich has been poor after contracting Covid and is unlikely to start at Stuttgart who are one point above the relegation zone.
