Defending Bundesliga champs Bayern Munich will welcome back striker Miroslav Klose back from injury as they prepare for the last two matches of a thrilling Bundesliga title race.

Bayern, who currently have 63 points and sit behind leaders Wolfsburg on goal difference, face Hoffenheim on Saturday.

Hoffenheim, a tiny club who earlier this season led in the standings during their debut in the top flight campaign before dropping down the table after the winter break, are currently in seventh place and fighting for a spot in the Europa League.

Klose returns to action after two months following an ankle injury. Bayern will be hoping the striker can hit the ground running if they are to emerge on top of a titanic tussle where the top four sides are separated by a mere two points.

“Whoever loses a game now will probably play in the Europa League next season,” said Bayern coach Jupp Heynckes, who took over when Juergen Klinsmann was fired last month with five games remaining.

Hertha Berlin sit just behind the leading duo with 62 points, while Stuttgart is a further point behind in fourth place.
