"I would definitely say that we need this game, also in light of the last game. It's good for us to be given the opportunity three or four days later to get onto the right track again and then we have a big opportunity to gain back a lot of trust in Munich."

"They were all a disaster. That's the only way to describe them. We always say we have big plans but the short version is: we need to show a different mentality during the entire 90 minutes tomorrow. We have to try and win this game because it's also important for the coming weeks and our well-being."

STORY: Bayern Munich winger Leroy Sane will miss Wednesday's domestic Super Cup against Borussia Dortmund with a knee injury while defender David Alaba is doubtful, coach Hansi Flick said on Tuesday (September 29).

Bayern, who won four titles this year, lost Sunday's league game at Hoffenheim 4-1 to suffer their first defeat of 2020.

"Leroy is out. He will most likely be out until and will return after the break for international matches (between Oct. 7-13)," Flick told reporters.

Defender Alaba is doubtful with a muscle problem, with a final decision to be taken on matchday.

In Dortmund, captain Marco Reus told reporters the game in Munich will be a chance to win back trust after their 2-0 loss at Augsburg last Saturday.

Asked whether Dortmund's recent past performances have not been great, Reus replied "they were all a disaster".
