"Bayern Munich has been hit with a myriad of injuries and illness. The defensive unit in particular has suffered the biggest blow with five absentees, including Dayot Upamecano, Konrad Laimer, Josip Stanišić, Raphaël Guerreiro and Sacha Boey. To make matters even worse, Bayern will travel to Eindhoven to take on PSV without Kim Min-jae, who received a one match suspension after his red card against Union Saint-Gilloise-taking the tally of unavailable defenders to six."
"Eberl touched on the matter in an interview with Sport Bild when questioned about the potential signing of 26-year-old Nico Schlotterbeck from rivals, Borussia Dortmund. "I've always said that the 'internal transfer' [extension] of Dayot is our absolute priority, in addition to Serge, with whom we'd like to extend as well. Those are our priorities right now. As for everything else, that would be the second step -"
Bayern Munich faces a major defensive crisis with six defenders unavailable: Dayot Upamecano, Konrad Laimer, Josip Stanišić, Raphaël Guerreiro, Sacha Boey and Kim Min-jae, the latter suspended for one match. The transfer window closes at 20:00 CET on Monday, 2 February. Bayern Munich Board Member for Sport Max Eberl prioritizes internal transfers and contract extensions, aiming to extend Dayot Upamecano and Serge ahead of any external recruitment. Nico Schlotterbeck of Borussia Dortmund is mentioned as a potential target, but roster congestion when all players are fit presents a management challenge.
