"With so many injuries and illnesses, it was very unclear exactly who Kompany would even be able to play. As you can see, Lennart Karl got over his rumored illness, but Serge Gnabry (gastrointestinal infection) and Raphaël Guerreiro (calf strain) missed the match. The head coach went with Hiroki Itō (left-back), Jonathan Tah, Kim Min-jae, and Alphonso Davies (right-back) across the back, Leon Goretzka and Aleksandar Pavlović in the midfield, and a front four consisting of Karl, Harry Kane, Michael Olise, and Luis Díaz."
"It was awesome to see Jonas Urbig get some playing time and for Kompany to sit Neuer (even while he is hot). The rest of Neuer is vital for his longevity during the rest of this campaign. Urbig was decent in the match, but will likely get some criticism for how he handled the first goal. It seemed that his pathway to punching the ball away was filled with traffic, though."
Bayern Munich lost 2-1 to FC Augsburg, ending an unbeaten Bundesliga run. Head coach Vincent Kompany fielded a makeshift lineup because of numerous injuries and illnesses, with Serge Gnabry and Raphaël Guerreiro unavailable. The starting XI featured Hiroki Itō, Jonathan Tah, Kim Min-jae, Alphonso Davies, Leon Goretzka, Aleksandar Pavlović, Lennart Karl, Harry Kane, Michael Olise, and Luis Díaz. Jonas Urbig started in goal while Manuel Neuer was rested for longevity; Urbig made some decent interventions but may face criticism for his handling of the first goal. Bayern moved the ball crisply early but could not generate sustained threats, and Augsburg earned a corner in the 17th minute.
