Mazraoui receives compliments after playing in a different role

Due to the defensive issues, Mazraoui played alongside Leon Goretzka in the center of the defense. The right-back was positioned there by Tuchel because players like Matthijs de Ligt, Dayot Upamecano, and Min-Jae Kim are injured. 

Speaking of De Ligt, the coach had an update: he suggested that the Dutch central defender could return for the Champions League match against FC Copenhagen at the beginning of October, but the league match against SC Freiburg on October 8th is a more realistic target.

Tuchel was very pleased with Mazraoui. 'It was a professional performance. We were strong in the duels and didn't allow any counterattacks. Goretzka and Mazraoui did very well as center-backs; they played with great confidence. Overall, I am very satisfied, and I've communicated that to the players.'

It wasn't all praise for Bayern, as early in the match, the club lost Serge Gnabry. The forward left the field in the eleventh minute and it turns out he broke his forearm. Tuchel confirmed that Gnabry will have to undergo surgery and will be sidelined for several weeks. As a result, he will miss, among other matches, the top game against RB Leipzig.
