Key Absences for the Autumn Champions
The DFB captain, Giulia Gwinn, and the captain of the Icelandic national team, Glodis Viggosdottir, are both sidelined due to illness.

Impact on the Match Against Bayer Leverkusen
The match against Bayer Leverkusen is a critical encounter for Bayern Munich as they aim to consolidate their position at the top of the league table. The loss of two such influential players, particularly in defensive and midfield roles, could force coach Alexander Straus to make significant adjustments to his starting lineup and tactical approach.
