Kompany confirms: these Bayern stars miss out against Brugge | OneFootball

FC Bayern will still have to do without Serge Gnabry in the Champions League clash against Club Brugge. The attacking player is still struggling with adductor problems. The match also comes too soon for Josip Stanisic.

The absence of Serge Gnabry had already been announced on Tuesday morning. The 30-year-old missed the final training session ahead of tomorrow’s home game against the Belgians. The attacker has been complaining of adductor issues since last week and already missed the 2-1 win against Borussia Dortmund.

Head coach Vincent Kompany commented on Gnabry at the pre-match press conference as follows: “Serge is not.” Whether the attacking player will be back in action against Gladbach, the FCB coach did not want or was unable to reveal.

This makes it clear: The Belgian will once again have to reshuffle his starting eleven in attack. Against BVB, Nicolas Jackson was brought into the team. However, the Senegalese was not really able to impress. Kompany does not have many personnel options.

Josip Stanisic is also still unavailable for Bayern. The Croatian took part in parts of team training again on Tuesday after his knee injury. However, the match against Brugge on Wednesday evening comes too soon for the defender.

If everything goes according to plan, Stanisic is expected to return to the Bayern squad for the away game in Mönchengladbach on Saturday at the earliest.

The Croatian international suffered a medial ligament injury in the CL clash against Chelsea almost four weeks ago and has been sidelined ever since.
