Left-back headache: Kompany gives update after Stanisic injury | OneFootball

There is a shortage of personnel at left-back for FC Bayern. Now Josip Stanisic is also out. Ahead of the away match in the Bundesliga against TSG Hoffenheim, Bayern’s coach has provided an update on his plans for the position.

After Josip Stanisic’s injury in Bayern’s Champions League match against Chelsea (3:1), FCB coach Vincent Kompany has given an update on his short-term plans for the left-back position.

The Belgian is missing Alphonso Davies, Hiroki Ito, Raphael Guerreiro, and now also Stanisic for this position due to injuries.

Ahead of Munich’s next Bundesliga match at TSG Hoffenheim, Kompany said at the press conference: “You’ll see tomorrow exactly how we’re planning. But there aren’t many options left.”

Guerreiro appearance in Hoffenheim not ruled out

There still seems to be hope for Guerreiro to return for the German record champions’ match at Hoffenheim: “We’ll see about Rapha today. He hasn’t trained all week. The important thing is that he won’t be out for long. If he’s not involved now, he’ll be back next week.”

Regarding the status of the injured Stanisic, Kompany explained: “The good thing is that it’s not so bad with Stani. It’s probably only short-term, and we’ll solve it with the guys we have.”

However, the Croatian international will still miss a few games: “He’ll be out for a few matches, we hope he could be fit again after the international break,” said Kompany.

Recently, new signing Tom Bischof has also played at times in the left-back position. In the match against his former club Hoffenheim, national player Bischof could also be an option on the left side of defense, according to Kompany. Kompany said: “Anything is possible. But I’m only saying that because I don’t want to reveal who will start tomorrow.”
