FC Bayern pays expensive victory in Hoffenheim. Two stars have to be replaced and threaten to fall out now.
FC Bayern Munich has to fear the next two failures on the defensive. In the sovereign 4-1 success at TSG Hoffenheim, both central defenders Min-Jae Kim on the calf and full-back Sacha Boey injured the thigh. Kim was replaced after 69 minutes and replaced by Dayot Upamecano. There were no more details at first.
“We don’t have the diagnosis yet. We just have to wait,” said sports director Max Eberl after the success. Coach Vincent Kompany usually relies on national players Jonathan Tah and Upamecano in the defense center, but rotated at the start of the season after the start of the season on the fourth Bundesliga match day at TSG.
The 3-1 against club world champion FC Chelsea already resulted in a failure during the week. According to the Munich, Josip Stanišić suffered a partial injury to the inner ligament on the right knee joint and thus fails for several weeks. Stanišić’s representative Boey of all people was also injured in Hoffenheim. The Frenchman, who had moved into the starting eleven as a right -back, grabbed the left rear thigh after a sprint in the final phase and also had to be replaced four minutes before the end of the regular season. This at least fears that Boey could have suffered a muscular injury.
Bayern have so far been covered with Boey’s possible injury. The exact diagnoses will probably follow in both cases on Sunday. A failure of the two defensive players would be extremely bitter for Munich. After all, Alphonso Davies (cruciate ligament rupture) and Hiroki ITō (midfoot break) are already in defense in the defense in Munich’s defense.
Raphaël Guerreiro, who can also play as a left -back, also failed because of an abdominal injury. Against Hoffenheim the Portuguese was at least in the squad, but was not used. In the coming games, Kompany will no longer be able to do without him. Finally, the alternatives go out in defense.
In addition, offensive player Jamal Musiala also lacks an indefinite period after his broken fabric. It can already be seen how much Bayern’s squad is sewn on edge this season. Injuries such as those of Kim and Boey hurt the record champion twice. The Munich’s dream start cannot hide the dream of the Munich with seven wins in seven competitive games.
