Bayern Munich considering using Leon Goretzka at center-back for Club World Cup
Briefly

Bayern Munich approaches the FIFA Club World Cup in the United States amid significant squad injury issues, particularly in central defense. With vital players like Upamecano and Kim Min-jae sidelined, head coach Vincent Kompany may resort to unconventional solutions, including using Leon Goretzka as a center-back alongside Josip Stanišić. Despite not having previously utilized Goretzka in that role, previous instances show that he has successfully played there. As they prepare for the tournament starting June 15, Bayern's success is uncertain given these challenges.
