Kompany Rests Four Star Players While Upamecano Misses Squad Selection
In a strategic move, Bayern Munich’s manager Vincent Kompany has decided to rest four key players for the Bundesliga match against FC St. Pauli. The match is scheduled to kick off at 15:30 local time, broadcasted live on Sky.
Kompany’s Tactical Adjustments
Following a disappointing 1-3 loss to Arsenal in the Champions League, which marked their first defeat of the season, Kompany has opted for a fresh lineup. Four players have been introduced to the starting eleven:
- Min-Jae Kim
- Tom Bischof
- Raphael Guerreiro
- Luis Díaz
Meanwhile, some regulars will start on the bench. These include:
- Josip Stanisic
- Michael Olise
- Serge Gnabry
Upamecano’s Absence
Notably, central defender Dayot Upamecano will not be part of the squad at all. The club has stated that this decision stems from “load management” considerations, prioritizing player fitness as the season progresses.
Kompany’s adjustments reflect a cautious approach as Bayern Munich seeks to maintain their competitive edge in the Bundesliga while navigating the challenges of European competition.
