"Squad depth was undoubtedly the topic on everyone's lip at Bayern Munich coming into the 2025/26 season, and understandably so. Die Rekordmeister were forced to start their campaign without the likes of Alphonso Davies, Jamal Musiala, Hiroki Ito and Tom Bischof. Light in the attack as well after the departures of Leroy Sané and Kingsley Coman, it seemed like a risky decision to go into a new season without significant reinforcements."
"One thing Kompany is not getting enough praise for is his ability to get performances out of players that were deemed surplus to requirements come the start of the season. Tom Bischof is a decent example. After confusion on where or if he would fit in at Bayern, one performance has silenced the doubt. An even better example is Sacha Boey. While far from perfect, Kompany has turned a player who was on the fringes just a few match days ago into a solid first team contributor, a testimony to the Belgian coach's man management abilities."
Bayern Munich began the 2025/26 season missing key players including Alphonso Davies, Jamal Musiala, Hiroki Ito and Tom Bischof, and lost wingers Leroy Sané and Kingsley Coman. The club made only targeted additions yet delivered a strong start to the campaign, including a 4-0 win over Werder Bremen. Vincent Kompany has expressed full confidence in every squad member and emphasized using the entire roster. Fringe players such as Tom Bischof and Sacha Boey have become useful contributors under Kompany's management. The attack remains thin and the team could be vulnerable if key forwards sustain injuries.
