How Bayern Munich Have Lined Up Recently

In their somewhat lucky 1-0 victory over Borussia Mönchengladbach at the weekend, Bayern started as follows: Manuel Neuer was back in goal with a back four of Konrad Laimer, Kim Min-jae, Eric Dier, and Alphonso Davies. Joshua Kimmich and Leon Goretzka were the holding midfield duo, with Michael Olise, Thomas Müller, Leroy Sané, and Harry Kane making up the forward line.

The changes made by Head Coach Vincent Kompany included Neuer coming in for Daniel Peretz in goal, Dier replacing the suspended Dayot Upamecano and Müller coming in for Jamal Musiala, who was struggling with illness. Meaning, that the coach limited his squad alterations to minimal and logical changes.

Sacha Boey, Joao Palhinha, Peretz, and Hiroki Ito remain out injured. As for the rest of the team, the final training session will determine their availability. During the pre-match press conference, Kompany told journalists that the Japanese international Ito would likely need time:””With Ito it was a complicated injury, so I don’t want to put too much pressure. Hopefully we’ll see him back in the next six to eight weeks. We’ll give him all the time and space he needs”.
