Jupp Heynckes has handed a debut to 18-year-old Lars Lukas Mai as Bayern Munich travel to face Hannover 96 on Saturday.
The centre-back will become the first player born in the year 2000 to play for Bayern and the seventh youngest debutant in the club’s history.
With the first leg of their Champions League semi-final clash with Real Madrid to come on Wednesday, the Bundesliga champions have rested a number of key players for the visit to Niedersachsenstadion, with Mats Hummels, Josh Kimmich, Javi Martínez, Franck Ribéry, Thomas Müller and Robert Lewandowski all starting on the bench.
Here are the two starting line-ups in full…
Hannover have lost each of their last 10 Bundesliga matches against Bayern – their longest ever losing streak against a single top flight side.
And André Breitenreiter’s men are without a clean sheet in their last 15 matches. No other side has gone more than six games without keeping their opponents at bay.
Watch out for Sandro Wagner, who averages a goal every 76 minutes for Bayern and has scored in four consecutive Bundesliga games for the first time in his career.
