Kompany rings the changes: this is Bayern’s starting XI in Frankfurt | OneFootball

The match kicks off in Frankfurt at 6:30 p.m. FC Bayern faces Eintracht on Matchday 6 of the Bundesliga. This is the lineup FCB will use for the game.

FC Bayern continues its perfect run in the Bundesliga with five wins from five matches. On Matchday 6, coach Vincent Kompany’s team is put to the test away at Eintracht Frankfurt. Kickoff is at 6:30 p.m.

Kompany still has to do without the injured Alphonso Davies (rehab after cruciate ligament tear), Hiroki Ito (rehab after metatarsal fracture), and Jamal Musiala (rehab after fibula fracture). In addition, Josip Stanisic and Jonas Urbig are also out. Stanisic suffered a medial ligament injury in his right knee during Bayern’s 3-1 Champions League win over Chelsea. Goalkeeper Urbig sustained a muscle fiber tear in his adductors during training.

Kimmich back in FC Bayern’s starting eleven

In Frankfurt, however, Kompany continues to rely on Manuel Neuer in goal. Sacha Boey will play as right-back, with Konrad Laimer covering the left side of defense. Jonathan Tah and Dayot Upamecano will form the central defense.

In front of them, a double pivot of Joshua Kimmich and Leon Goretzka will play. In attack, Michael Olise and Luis Diaz start on the wings. Serge Gnabry returns to the center. Harry Kane will lead the line as the striker.

FC Bayern’s lineup at a glance:

FC Bayern: Neuer – Boey, Upamecano, Tah, Laimer – Kimmich, Goretzka – Olise, Gnabry, Diaz – Kane

FC Bayern substitutes: Ulreich – Kim, Jackson, Bischof, Guerreiro, Kiala, Mike, Karl, Pavlovic

With this, Kompany makes four changes to his starting eleven compared to Bayern’s 5-1 win in Cyprus against Pafos FC.

At the pre-match press conference, Kompany described the duel with Eintracht as “dangerous”: “Offensively, they are very, very strong, very impressive.” Kompany expects a high-scoring match: “We also score a lot of goals. I don’t know who would bet on a 0-0.”

Frankfurt coach Dino Toppmöller warned his team that the respect for Bayern shouldn’t be too great: “It has to be gone at kickoff. Then it’s about showing the opponent that they should respect us.”
