Thomas Tuchel doesn't want to put unnecessary pressure on Bayern Munich's Mathys Tel

It was difficult to forecast the excellent run of form that Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting had earlier in the season for Bayern Munich.With Robert Lewandowski leaving for Barcelona last summer and Bayern signing Sadio Mane from Liverpool as an indirect replacement, there was cause for concern as to where the majority of Bayern's goals would come from.

Report: Bayern Munich possibly unhappy with blockbuster transfer Sadio Mane

When Bayern Munich procured former Liverpool FC star Sadio Mané during the summer transfer window, it created a frenzy within the club's fanbase.Since that point, however, things have not been consistently good for the Senegal international.Undoubtedly, an injury just prior to the World Cup break hampered Mané's progress, but according to a report from Sport1 journalist Kerry Hau, there is much more to it than a slow recovery and a penchant for going offside.

If one has to go between Bayern Munich's Leroy Sane and Serge Gnabry, we might know who it'll be

There has been some speculation that Bayern Munich could be looking to sell one of its attackers during the summer transfer window.The two names most bandied about have been Leroy Sané and Serge Gnabry.With Julian Nagelsmann contemplating a back three based system that will not feature wingers, the club might not need to carry so many top-caliber players for the role.

Germany's team selection and matches against Peru and Belgium

The German national team will have a few Bayern Munich players during this international break (not as many as usual, however) and the club's former coach, Hansi Flick, will have his hands full in trying to sort out what works - and what doesn't - during his squad's training camp.Maybe more important than what works is who.

Four Observations from Bayern Munich's 2-1 loss to Bayer Leverkusen in the Bundesliga

As Bayern Munich players go into international break, Julian Nagelsmann perhaps won't sleep too well.This loss means Bayern goes into a string of tough games, having to fight in each game and put forth their best XI.Nagelsmann gambled today and paid the price.Here are my observations.Leverkusen's run of form hasn't been the greatest but they do have players all over the pitch who can hurt you, speedy wingers who can cause havoc unless his name is Moussa Diaby and he has to pass the ball (sorry, Diaby).

Having secured qualification to the next round of the Champions League, it's time for Bayern Munich to keep hold of top spot in the Bundesliga by keeping up the winning run.FC Augsburg have already beaten this team once in the league already - it would be unimaginable to let them do the double.The thing is, there is the minor fact that a lot of players have started three games in a row and they're just tired.

Initial reactions and observations

You could tell that Bayern Munich were conserving energy because that was a solid, but unspectacular performance.Goals from Thomas Muller, Kingsley Coman, and Serge Gnabry got the job done, but Bochum were too far from a threat to make this game competitive.Key players got rested before the PSG game, so all in all a successful 90 minutes.

Opinion: Choupo-Moting extension the right decision by Bayern Munich

Bayern Munich's apparent decision to lock down striker Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting is unsurprising and, in my view, a good piece of business for the German record champions.Still, Choupo-Moting is not the biggest name out there, and not all of the fanbase is accordingly convinced that Robert Lewandowski's former understudy can truly be his heir.
