According to Bild, Bayern Munich will go into this tough Champions League match in even more difficult circumstances. Head coach Kompany remains sidelined with meningeal irritation, and the squad situation has become even tighter. Assistant coach Aaron Danks will continue to take charge on the touchline.
After the draw with Borussia Dortmund, injuries to several key players are a particular concern. Ismael Saibari underwent surgery for a syndesmotic ligament tear in his ankle and is not expected to return until next year. Gnabry is also unavailable after the forward suffered another hamstring injury. It is also uncertain whether Olise will recover in time for the match, as he too finished the game with an injury.
The losses are also a headache for sporting director Max Eberl. Eberl told ARD it was a "costly draw" and confirmed that both Gnabry and Ismael Saibari would be out for a longer period. As for Olise, his status remains unclear.
Meanwhile, Aaron Danks is looking ahead. He said at the press conference: "Now it's about squad depth, and other players must step up. We will rise to the challenge and be ready on Tuesday."
