Bayern Munich:
There had been worries over Thomas Muller in the lead up to the cup final, as the forward picked up a stomach bug, but Jupp Heynckes confirmed in his press conference that the German has recovered and will be fine to play on Saturday. Bayern also received a boost with the news that Manuel Neuer is back in the squad after almost a whole season out, however the German will not start.
Centre-back Mats Hummels is fit to start, but his partner Jerome Boateng remains out with an adductor problem, meaning Niklas Sule is likely to start. David Alaba and Arjen Robben have recently recovered after missing the last league game, and although the former could feature, Robben isn't expected to be fit enough for the squad.
Eintracht Frankfurt:
Unlike Bayern, Frankfurt do not have any majors injury worries going into the game, and Nico Kovac will be able to call on a near-full squad for the trip to Berlin on Saturday. The only absentees are Gelson Fernandes and Danny Blum.
Bayern Munich manager Jupp Heynckes:
Saturday's final will be the veteran coach's final game as Bayern coach, after the German came back from retirement to lead the side to another Bundesliga title. It will be an emotional one for Heynckes.
"I'm looking forward tomorrow, there will be plenty of emotions," he said, speaking to the press. "The venue in Berlin is the German Wembley. It's special for me to go with Bayern with my players. I've rarely had a relationship like this with any team."
He also talked up the opposition, saying his side needed to be ready. "Eintracht had a very, very good Bundesliga campaign," he stated. "They advanced to the cup final last year and once again this year,"
"They display lots of commitment, ambition and passion. And they play well. We've been warned."
Eintracht Frankfurt manager Nico Kovac:
Kovac alluded to the fact that his side were in the final for the second year in a row, after losing 1-2 last year to Borussia Dortmund. "We made it clear before the season started that we wanted to reach the final again," he said. "Some people made fun of us, but I'm delighted to be back in Berlin."
Like Heynckes, this is Kovac's last game at the helm of Frankfurt, as he has been chosen to lead Saturday's opponents Bayern next season. The German coach isn't thinking about this yet, though.
"We want to win the final, what happens afterward isn't important," he claimed. "It would be an explosion of emotions for Frankfurt and our fans"
"The final is a nice farewell present. I've had a great time, so it's a little bittersweet."
Did you know?
Kovac has won the cup before, in 2002, but it was with Bayern, and he was on the field instead of the touchline. Frankfurt and Bayern met in the final of the DFB Pokal back in 2006, with Bayern edging it by one goal, and this current Frankfurt side haven't beaten the Bundesliga champions in any competition since 2010.
