The record champions plague great personnel worries on the defensive. Lothar Matthäus now fears a speed deficit. He does not believe in an emergency solution with Leon Goretzka.
The Knüppeldick occurs for FC Bayern after the international break. Central defender Dayot Upamecano fails around six weeks. Free joint bodies in the left knee were found in the French. The diagnosis at Alphonso Davies weighs even more heavily: for the Canadian, the season has ended after a cruciate ligament tear. Both injured themselves in missions for their national teams.
TV expert Lothar Matthäus speaks of a “shock for FC Bayern” at Sky. In his view, both players are not to be replaced one to one. The high speed of Davies and Upamecano is now missing in the game of the Munich. “The biggest problem is the lack of pace,” said Matthew.
With Hiroki Itō, Eric dier and Raphaël Guerreiro he sees reliable alternatives, but compared to the injured, they are not so fast – and that is exactly what is a decisive factor.
Matthäus does not currently consider another option to put Leon Goretzka in central defense. Goretzka has already helped “very neatly” there, but at the moment he is doing it “great” in the central midfield, so I don’t see Leon in this position “. The loss for the club is correspondingly great – especially in this phase of the season.
On Saturday (3:30 p.m. in the T-Online Live ticker), the record champion promoted promoted FC St. Pauli before the Champions League leads to quarter-final duel with Inter Milan (April 8 and 16).
