Kompany Places Trust in Kimmich and Gnabry at Arsenal
In a crucial Champions League clash, Bayern Munich’s coach Vincent Kompany is fielding his strongest lineup. This decision comes as the team aims for its fifth consecutive victory against Arsenal. Notable players Joshua Kimmich and Serge Gnabry are back, despite recent injury concerns.
Kimmich and Gnabry in Starting Formation
Kimmich, who missed the recent Bundesliga match against SC Freiburg due to a capsule injury in his ankle, makes his return. His partnership with Aleksandar Pavlović in the double pivot is expected to be key for Bayern’s midfield strength.
Gnabry also joins the starting eleven after dealing with knee issues. He will be playing alongside Michael Olise and Lennart Karl in the attacking trio supporting striker Harry Kane.
Notable Absences and Defensive Setup
- Luis Díaz is suspended following a red card received in a match against Paris Saint-Germain.
- The defensive lineup features Konrad Laimer, Dayot Upamecano, Jonathan Tah, and Josip Stanisic.
- Manuel Neuer will take charge as the goalkeeper and team captain.
Bayern Munich’s strategy aims to secure a top position in the Champions League. After navigating through last season’s knockout stage, the team is focused on qualifying directly for the Round of 16 this year.
As they prepare for Arsenal, the stakes are high for the German record champions. The return of Kimmich and Gnabry could prove pivotal in their quest for Champions League glory.
