"Joshua Kimmich and Jonathan Tah could start on the bench against Eintracht Frankfurt on Saturday. Both players are on 4 yellow cards, meaning another one would see them miss the game against Borussia Dortmund. Goretzka (also on 4 yellow cards) or Tom Bischof are the alternatives for Kimmich. Kim Min-jae or (Hiroki) Itō would replace Tah. This could be interesting for Kompany, who has been reluctant to rotate much at the central midfield and center-back positions."
"Fans have been clamoring to see more of Bischof in the midfield, will this be the opportunity that the youngster has been waiting for? As for the backline, Kompany has the aforementioned options in Kim and Itō. No matter who Kompany opts to go with, he will have proven Bundesliga players at all positions and that is not such a bad spot to be in against a talented squad like Eintracht Frankfurt."
Vincent Kompany is considering resting Joshua Kimmich and Jonathan Tah for the Eintracht Frankfurt match because both sit on four yellow cards and risk suspension. Alternatives for Kimmich include Leon Goretzka or youngster Tom Bischof, while Kim Min-jae or (Hiroki) Itō could replace Tah at center-back. Kompany has rarely rotated central midfield and center-back positions, so the decision could provide Bischof a meaningful opportunity. Any chosen lineup would still feature experienced Bundesliga players across the pitch, preserving competitive strength against a talented Eintracht Frankfurt squad.
