"Another two regular starters on the injury list spark a serious personnel crisis for Bayern Munich after Alphonso Davies, Joshua Kimmich, and Sacha Boey are all ruled out. The long list of absentees inflicts a devastating blow to Bayern's rotation potential amid a congested January and February fixture when Die Roten will have to play six games in little more than two weeks. This run of matches includes a hard-fought battle against RB Leipzig in the Bundesliga as well as two Champions League matches."
"Vincent Kompany is now left with limited options on both flanks. Hiroki Ito would be the most sensible option on the left. In case Ito needs some rest, the versatile Tom Bischof will be able to fill the gap, with Davies aiming to return soon. Meanwhile, all of his options on the right, Laimer, Stanisic, Boey and even Kimmich, are unavailable. In such a desperate situation, Vincent Kompany will likely have to apply an interesting tactic that he implemented in a few matchups this season."
Konrad Laimer sustained a muscle fibre tear in stoppage time against FC Koln and is expected to miss around a month. Josip Stanisic suffered serious ankle ligament damage against Wolfsburg and is estimated to return in about three weeks. Alphonso Davies, Joshua Kimmich, and Sacha Boey are also ruled out, leaving several right-backs sidelined. Bayern's rotation is severely weakened ahead of a congested January–February schedule that includes six games in just over two weeks, with fixtures against RB Leipzig and two Champions League ties. Vincent Kompany has limited options on both flanks and may rely on versatile players and tactical adjustments.
