Bayern Munich’s midfield group is viewed as strong for a double pivot, featuring Leon Goretzka, Aleksandar Pavlović, Felix Nmecha, and Angelo Stiller. Felix Nmecha is seen as bringing valuable qualities, with confidence that his knee is in good condition. Pavlović is credited with a great season, and Stiller is also praised for his form. Goretzka is described as having played more offensively in that role, giving additional tactical flexibility. The overall roster is framed as offering multiple ways to respond during matches. Pascal Groß is notably omitted, raising questions about whether roster planning should include other midfield or right-back backup options for Joshua Kimmich, including younger alternatives.
"“We are convinced by all the players we called up. Felix (Nmecha) brings a lot to the table, and we're glad his knee is doing well. Pavlo has had a great season, as has Angelo (Stiller). With Leon (Goretzka), we have someone who has played a bit more offensively for us. So we have various options to react during the games,” said Nagelsmann (as captured by @iMiaSanMia)."
"One player whose name was curiously omitted was Brighton & Hove Albion midfielder Pascal Groß. If Groß is not in the plans, would it have been wiser to include an actual back-up at right-back for Joshua Kimmich or even a younger option like Bayern Munich's Tom Bischof?"
"The debate on Kimmich's role and the roster composition will linger on."
