"As expected, there were some changes ahead of the Arsenal match on Wednesday. Vincent Kompany opted to rest Joshua Kimmich (ankle) and Serge Gnabry (muscular issue), who were replaced by Aleksandar Pavlović and Lennart Karl. Leon Goretzka started in the midfield as well. Konrad Laimer, whose workload for club and country has been insane, also did not start. An interesting note is that Kompany also opted to keep Nicolas Jackson on the bench."
"For as much of a fan of Bischof as most are (including the author), it was would be hard to say he was ready for the jump in level at left-back. Coming in as a sub is fine and starting against some of the "lesser-thans" of the league is fine, but the youngster does not have the chops just yet at the position to fully man it properly. He was not terrible or anything, but he does need a lot of work at the position."
Bayern Munich fell behind by two goals early but recovered to win 6-2 over SC Freiburg. The Bavarians mounted a dominant attacking performance led by Michael Olise, Lennart Karl, and Harry Kane. Vincent Kompany rested Joshua Kimmich and Serge Gnabry, starting Aleksandar Pavlović, Lennart Karl, and Leon Goretzka; Konrad Laimer and Nicolas Jackson did not start. Bischof showed some promise off the bench but is not yet ready to start at left-back and needs more work. SC Freiburg scored twice within 17 minutes; a low, driven corner from Jan-Niklas Beste found Matthias Ginter, who flicked it back to Yuito Suzuki.
