"Bayern Munich is already well-stocked on the left-side of the pitch, especially at left-back. Alphonso Davies and Hiroki Itō are due back at team training after the international break, while Josip Stanišić and Konrad Laimer were more-than-adequate fill-ins in the absence of Davies and Itō. Raphaël Guerreiro was also in that mix at times as well and can be used at left-back against the right opponents."
"The German national team is back in action and has two very winnable games during this international break. With Luxembourg and Slovakia on deck, the Germans should be well-poised to pick up two victories. Against Luxembourg, Germany head coach Julian Nagelsmann should be able to play with his lineup a bit, but against Slovakia, Nagelsmann will have to be on-point. Last time around, Slovakia stunned the Germans 2-0 and Nagelsmann will want to avoid a repeat of that flat performance."
Bayern Munich monitor Alejandro Grimaldo despite significant left-side depth. Alphonso Davies and Hiroki Itō are due back from international break, while Josip Stanišić, Konrad Laimer, and Raphaël Guerreiro have all covered left-back duties. Grimaldo is 30 years old, making his long-term fit unclear, though a potential Guerreiro exit could create a versatile roster role. The German national team faces Luxembourg and Slovakia in two winnable internationals under Julian Nagelsmann. Nagelsmann may rotate the lineup against Luxembourg but must be precise against Slovakia after a previous 2-0 loss. Analyses will cover selections, prior results, tactical approaches, and match predictions.
