Lack of squad depth? Kompany shares his thoughts on the Bayern team | OneFootball

There is currently a lot of discussion at FC Bayern about the squad’s depth. The offensive line in particular is raising questions—not just among the fans.

Coach Vincent Kompany has now commented on the ongoing discussions ahead of the match in Augsburg. When asked whether he finds the limited options in attack problematic, the Belgian remained calm: “My job is to set up the lineup and bring energy to every game. We are constantly communicating internally. It’s important that we do our work quietly and don’t make a lot of noise in public. The guys who will be there tomorrow have the quality to win. That’s the most important thing for the next 24 hours.”

Previously, Harry Kane had already spoken openly about the size of Bayern’s squad after the Supercup. “It’s probably one of the smallest squads I’ve ever played in,” the striker said at the time. This assessment was apparently shared internally: According to kicker, several players agree with the star striker’s analysis—especially with regard to the upcoming challenges of the long season.

Eberl and Freund Intensify Transfer Efforts

Kompany has to work with limited resources in attack. Besides Kane, Olise, Díaz, and Gnabry, he currently has hardly any experienced alternatives available. With Jonah Kusi-Asare and Lennart Karl, two talents from the Campus are the only offensive options from the second tier—a risk should injuries occur.

Jamal Musiala is still sidelined for the record champions due to injury. Given the tense personnel situation, Max Eberl and Christoph Freund have intensified the search for reinforcements. According to Sky information, Bayern are currently working on signing two more players on loan. In addition to Nicolas Jackson from Chelsea, his teammate Tyrique George is also being considered as an option.
