Bastian Schweinsteiger set for Bayern return against Nurnberg – Bundesliga News 
After being left out of the game against Ingolstadt due to a cold, Bayern Munich midfielder http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Bastian-Schweinsteiger-c7374 is set to make a return against FC Nurnberg. The player was replaced by Austrian international, David Alaba.
Schweinsteiger complained of cold after the game against Hannover and was rested for Wednesday’s DFB Pokal clash. The Bavarian giants won that game by a comprehensive 6-0 margin. Thomas Muller, David Alaba, Nils Petersen and Takashi Usami scored the goals
for the hosts.
With that win, Bayern have also advanced through to the third round of the competition. The Reds manager, Jupp Heynckes, rested most of his first team regulars in favour of reserve players.
Apart from Schweinsteiger, defender http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Manuel-Neuer-c23424 and striker Mario Gomez were all rested for Ingolstadt clash.
The midfielder has now declared himself fit to play on Saturday against Nurnberg. Schweinsteiger also confirmed of his fitness and is looking forward to the Bavarian derby.
Heynckes expressed delight at player’s possible return and guaranteed him a place in the starting XI – if passed fit by the club’s medical staff.
The tactician also hinted at retaining either one of http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Takashi-Usami-c34524 for the crunch game on Saturday.
While talking to reporters ahead of Saturday’s game, the former Bayer Leverkusen manager added, "Takashi is a huge talent, an instinct footballer who has a special gift. He plays just like (Franck) Ribery, (Arjen) Robben or Schweinsteiger."
The former Leverkusen manager reserved praise for Alaba on scoring in the club’s last two games. The Austrian international first scored in Bayern’s last league game against Hannover, which the Bavarian giants lost by a 2-1 margin. It was the club’s second
loss of this season, having previously been beaten by Borussia Monchengladbach back in August.
Alaba also scored in his team’s DFB Pokal clash against FC Ingolstadt on Wednesday, helping Bayern to a 6-0 drubbing of their opponents.
Bayern are currently atop the league table with 22 points from 10 games. Nurnberg, on the other hand, are 13th in the race with 12 points from 10 games.
