Munich – FC Bayern are currently plagued by enough personnel concerns.
The German record champions are currently missing ten players for the Africa and Asian Cups due to injuries or withdrawals.

FC Bayern announced this on its club website on Wednesday.
So it's not all that bad.
Meanwhile, his coaching team took over the management of the training session.
It is unclear whether Tuchel will miss any further sessions this week.
He still has a few days of regeneration left until the next league game against Borussia Mönchengladbach (Saturday, 3:30 p.m.).
Bayern captain Manuel Neuer was also missing from training on Wednesday.
The 37-year-old keeper took a break from training due to stress management.

Acute personnel shortage at FC Bayern
The list of Bayern's failures currently reads like a bad joke: Dayot Upamecano (torn hamstring), Konrad Laimer (torn muscle bundle), Joshua Kimmich (shoulder injury), Serge Gnabry (hamstring injury), Bouna Sarr (torn cruciate ligament), Daniel Peretz (inner ligament injury) and Tarek Buchmann (muscle injury) are all unavailable for the German record champions.
The Korean Minjae Kim and the Moroccan Noussair Mazraoui are also missing due to their participation in the Asian and African Cups.
In the narrow 3-2 win against FC Augsburg, winger Kingsley Coman also seriously injured the medial ligament in his left knee.
Bayern will probably have to do without the Frenchman for at least two months.
The personnel shortage at FCB is so acute that internal plans are being pursued to move the new signing Bryan Zaragoza, who was originally scheduled for next summer, from FC Granada this winter.
