Xabi Alonso바카라s Leverkusen are on the brink of being crowned champions and host Werder Bremen on Sunday.
Even if Bayern beat Cologne at the Allianz Arena a day earlier, Leverkusen 바카라 16 points clear with just six matches remaining 바카라 will take their first title by seeing off Bremen.
However, Tuchel, whose side host Cologne fresh from a pulsating 2-2 Champions League draw at Arsenal on Tuesday night, will have his attention elsewhere.
바카라I won바카라t be watching the Leverkusen game on Sunday,바카라 he said. 바카라I바카라ll watch Arsenal.바카라
The Champions League is the only trophy still up for grabs for the German giants following a disappointing domestic campaign.
And ahead of the quarter-final return leg in Munich on Wednesday, Tuchel has hinted he will rotate his side for the visit of Cologne.
바카라We바카라ve got several days between Cologne and Arsenal, but there바카라s the consideration to throw in some other players and make some changes,바카라 said the former Chelsea manager, who is leaving Munich at the end of the season.
바카라If we make changes, then it바카라s more to give players some match rhythm for Wednesday and not to rest anybody.바카라
Leroy Sane is among those unlikely to feature on Saturday.
The former Manchester City winger impressed for Bayern at the Emirates on Tuesday night before he was substituted in the second half.
바카라It바카라s about how much pain he can tolerate,바카라 added Tuchel of Sane.
바카라We geared everything towards him being able to play for Arsenal. He was an important factor there and played a great game.
바카라Since he showed a reaction, we바카라re focusing on him on Wednesday. The plan is for him to return on Sunday or Monday. But if he plays, he바카라ll show a reaction in his pubic bone again, which will remain the case for the time being.
바카라It바카라s clear what assets and talent the boy has. But we바카라ve been waiting for him to score a competitive goal since October. He got off to an outstanding start to the season, but he바카라s slowed down a bit.
바카라The expectations before the Arsenal first leg were huge and he delivered. We expect him to keep pushing himself, then he바카라ll be a key player for us.바카라
Tuchel will watch Saturday바카라s match from the stands after he was shown a fourth yellow card of the season in last weekend바카라s shock defeat to Heidenheim.
Cologne are four points from safety and Bayern are unbeaten in their last 19 meetings against their opponents on Saturday.
