Corona has FC Bayern Munich firmly under control.

Will the club break the league start against Gladbach?

The option exists.

Update from January 5th, 1:34 p.m.:

Is everything going very quickly now?

FC Bayern Munich would like to postpone the game for the second half of the season against Borussia Mönchengladbach on Friday (8.30 p.m.) due to the tense personnel situation after eight corona cases.

“The fact is that Bayern would like to cancel the game.

But that decides the league, "said Gladbach's sports director Max Eberl after a phone call with Bayern sports director Hasan Salihamidžić and a conversation with the DFL.

The personnel situation at the record champions is currently very thin with eight corona cases.

In addition, Niklas Süle and Leon Goretzka were absent from team training on Wednesday.

FC Bayern Munich: Will the FCB break the league start?

Association is examining options

Munich - While Bayern coach Julian Nagelsmann (34) was preparing his team behind the opaque tarpaulin for the start of the second half against Borussia Mönchengladbach (8.30 p.m., SAT.1 and DAZN), FC Bayern published a two-line on its website.

The wording: “Leroy Sané and Dayot Upamecano (Senegal) have contracted the coronavirus.

Both players are fine, they are in domestic isolation. "

Game cancellation?

According to tz information, FC Bayern thinks about all the scenarios

The test results of the two players were already unclear on Monday, as was Josip Stanisic (21). But while the Croatian defender came to the rehabilitation unit on Säbener Strasse after tearing his muscle bundle and was therefore not infected with Covid-19, the tests by Sané and Upamecano were positive - as was the case with Manuel Neuer (36), Lucas Hernandez (25), Tanguy Nianzou (19), Kingsley Coman (25), Corentin Tolisso (27) and Omar Richards (23).


“Unfortunately I also tested positive for Covid-19.

Still, I feel fine and have no symptoms.

I hope to get back to the team as soon as possible.

Until then, I'll stay in quarantine at home, ”Sané gave a brief update on his sick leave on social media.

Eight Bayern soccer players are currently in corona quarantine.

Is the German record champions now breaking the league start?

According to

tz

information, FC Bayern naturally thinks about all possible scenarios.

After all, it cannot be ruled out that there will be additional cases in view of the omicron wave.

If there are fewer than nine licensed players, DFL would have to agree to a game cancellation request

The fact is: as soon as a club can muster fewer than 16 players eligible to play - nine of them must be licensed players - the German Football League (DFL) can grant a corresponding application to cancel the game. In training on Tuesday there were 14 licensed players on the field, with Leon Goretzka (26) again only being able to complete one individual unit. According to the statutes, junior players can also be nominated, but: The Bayern campus has been inactive for around a month - both the amateurs and the U19s have no training rhythm. An example: The second team in the Regionalliga Bayern doesn't have to play again until February 26th in Pipinsried. The A-youth will play against Karls-ruhe in the Bundesliga Süd / Südwest on February 6th.

Bitter for Bavaria: With back-up striker Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting (32 / Cameroon) and right-back Bouna Sarr (29 / Senegal) there are currently two professionals at the Africa Cup, which takes place between January 9th and February 6th in Cameroon . Thus, the team would set up for the game against the Gladbachers by itself: Sven Ulreich (33) would represent the regular goalkeeper Neuer in goal. Right-back Benjamin Pavard (25) could slip into the center of the defense alongside Niklas Süle (26). It is still positive: Marc Roca (25) played warmly towards the end of the first half of the season in central midfield and has developed into a player that Nagelsmann can easily promote into the starting line-up. Fortunately, Bavaria can count on superstar Robert Lewandowski (33) in the front.
