Kingsley Coman will be missing from FC Bayern for a long time after a knee injury.
During a visit to the fan club, boss Jan-Christian Dreesen spoke about further winter transfers.
Munich - Kingsley Coman (27) limped out of the stadium on crutches in Augsburg after tearing his medial ligament and Joshua Kimmich (28) presented himself with an arm sling at the fan club visits because of his shoulder injury.
The past week was one to forget for FC Bayern.
Coman will be missing from FC Bayern for several weeks
While Kimmich's injury is more of a pain issue, Coman will be out for months.
A question that is currently circulating around the record champions: Does he have to hit the transfer market again quickly - and present another winter newcomer after defender Sacha Boey (23)?
CEO Jan-Christian Dreesen (56) does not rule this out in principle, as he announced during a fan club visit to the “Red Stars Attenhausen” in Allgäu: “I would certainly have said two or three days ago: the transfer window is closed.
We're looking at it now." King will be out for several weeks, which will be painful and lengthy: "We are well staffed, have a top quality team, we just can't afford any more injuries."
The hope on Säbener Straße rests on the two defenders Minjae Kim (27) and Noussair Mazraoui (26), who are currently playing with their national teams in the Africa and Asian Cups.
Dayot Upamecano (torn thigh fiber) and Serge Gnabry (adductor injury) are also working on their comeback.
However, an exact forecast of their return is still vague.
That's why Dreesen says: "The completely honest answer is the emperor's: Look, then you'll see."
Once in a chatting mood, the Bayern boss also revealed details about the negotiations regarding Boey.
According to Dreesen, “rework had to be done.
And if you're unlucky with injuries, that doesn't necessarily make it any easier.
We therefore continued to negotiate again after the game.”

After passing the medical check and the Bavarians' bad luck with injuries, Galatasaray wanted to raise a few million more in Augsburg.
The first draft came back differently than agreed.
But sports director Christoph Freund (46) apparently had no desire to negotiate like in the Turkish bazaar.
Dreesen: “Christoph had prepared it wonderfully.” It was only on Sunday night that all parties came to an agreement.
“The player fits exactly with the approach that Christoph Freund stands for: namely, finding young players with potential who, although they cost money, can potentially improve even further with us,” Dreesen praised his sports director.
Bayern's turn to Aston Villa professional
Someone who has a similar profile and could strengthen Munich in the summer is Jacob Ramsey (22) from Premier League club Aston Villa.
According to
The Athletic,
Bayern alongside Tottenham and Newcastle are interested in the English midfielder.
Ramsey can not only be used centrally, but also as a left or attacking midfielder.
His contract with Aston Villa runs until 2027. According to reports, the England club is asking for almost 60 million euros for Ramsey.
A decent chunk of money.
It's good that Dreesen in the Allgäu also talked about the fixed-term deposit account: "There's still something on it!"
