+++ UPDATE +++
Update from December 16, 4:55 p.m.:
There is still speculation about the future of
David Alaba
at
Bayern
.
Before the game against Wolfsburg, numbers have now been made public *.
They show the alleged salary development of the Austrian since 2008.
At Alaba, the signs are still more of a farewell.
In the medium term, Bayern will have to look for a replacement.
Hasan Salihamidzic
and
Oliver Kahn
already have a plan for the winter *.
First of all, the year should end in a forgiving manner in terms of sport.
Against Wolfsburg and Leverkusen, Munich want to get two wins.
We'll find out tonight whether that will succeed.
FC Bayern - VfL Wolfsburg in the live ticker: Flick has to tinker with emergency midfield
Update from December 16, 12:15 p.m.:
Bayern will play their penultimate game of 2020 tonight.
What's in it against Wolfsburg?
We are already excited.
Marco Fritz will lead the game - it starts at 8.30 p.m.
First report from December 15, 5:13 p.m
.: Munich - "It's like a tear-
off calendar
," said
Hansi Flick
two weeks
ago
.
And that describes the current mood at
FC
Bayern *
probably best.
Two more games, then a short vacation beckons.
The problem: There are no opponents waiting to be beaten quickly in passing.
With
VfL
Wolfsburg *
and
Bayer Leverkusen *
, the triple winner still has two difficult tasks ahead of him.
FC Bayern - VfL Wolfsburg in the live ticker: Goretzka is out - Kimmich is not yet an option
One of the reasons why the people of Munich are currently struggling is the misery of injuries.
And she doesn't want to end:
Leon Goretzka
will be out against Wolfsburg
due to a muscle injury.
In the absence of his partner
Joshua Kimmich, he had held
the midfield together to some extent.
Now Flick has to improvise even more.
New signing
Marc Roca
is arguably the hottest contender for a starting eleven - there aren't that many options anymore.
On the other hand, the astonishingly quick recovery of Kimmich *, who has already fully participated in team training, is encouraging.
But he is not yet there for the game on Wednesday, as Flick made
clear
at the
press conference *
.
Apart from the midfield, it looks good in terms of personnel.

FC Bayern - VfL Wolfsburg in the live ticker: Lewandowski meets his favorite opponent
Duels against VfL Wolfsburg are special for a Bayern player:
Robert Lewandowski *
has not scored against any Bundesliga club more often than against the Wolves.
Most Bundesliga fans will remember his five goals in nine minutes in 2015.
It is the last chance for the Pole to finally
recommend
himself for the election of
world footballer
.
He could become the first player in his country to win the award on Thursday.
FC Bayern - VfL Wolfsburg in the live ticker: who will stop Weghorst?
In contrast to Bayern, VfL Wolfsburg is still unbeaten.
Lower Saxony also has a dangerous striker:
Wout Weghorst
is something like the life insurance of coach
Oliver Glasner's team
.
"He's one of the best strikers in the league," warns Flick of the massive Dutchman.
Either
JĂ©rĂ´me Boateng
or
Niklas SĂĽle should get it
under control.
Both have the physical requirements for this.
Are the troubled Bavarians losing feathers again in the end of the year?
In any case, the personnel situation should improve again in January - including an almost new addition *.
