Speaking ahead of the game, Tuchel was quizzed on Bayern's interest in the defender but the former Chelsea boss refused to comment specifically on him.
"The focus is very clear,” he told reporters in Tokyo. “We focus on the team. We focus on the players that are contracted to Bayern Munich and they deserve our full support, our full attention, and appreciation.
"That is what we give them. We push everyone as a team to the limit and then we see what is going to happen. We are not the first football team that has changes in the transfer period, we will not be the last.
"The transfer period will go on for another five or six weeks. This is just the situation that we live. To be very honest, we do not break our heads too often about it. We have enough to push this team as it is. This is why we are here, we want to push our limits, we want to improve and if changes happen, they happen.”
With Walker yet to be specifically referenced, Tuchel was then asked about the City defender, to which he responded: "No comment.”
