No Kimmich, no Olise: Kompany rings the changes against Hoffenheim | OneFootball

In just under an hour, the ball will start rolling at the PreZero Arena in Sinsheim. On the 4th matchday of the Bundesliga, FC Bayern is visiting TSG Hoffenheim. We provide you with the line-ups for the match.

After their 3-1 victory against Chelsea in the Champions League, Bayern wants to further expand their flawless record in the new season.

On the 4th matchday of the Bundesliga, FC Bayern is visiting TSG Hoffenheim. The Munich team is in impressive early form: they have won all three Bundesliga matches, scoring 14 goals. Additionally, they celebrated a success in the Supercup, advanced in the DFB-Pokal, and made a statement against Chelsea in the Champions League midweek.

However, the personnel situation remains tense. Josip Stanisic had to be substituted due to injury against Chelsea. Although the Croatian national player will not be out for long, he will likely only be "fit again after the international break," as Kompany emphasized in the pre-match press conference. With Alphonso Davies and Hiroki Ito already out, the need at left-back is significant. This week, Raphaël Guerreiro also had to sit out due to abdominal muscle issues.
