The competition in defense is fierce
In defense, Bayern had a bottleneck in the center and on the right side, which has now been closed with Eric Dier and Sacha Boey.
This doesn't make the fight for playing minutes any easier for the talent.
In Krätzig's position, Alphonso Davies, who suffered a medial ligament strain in the 3-1 win against Gladbach and will be out for a good two weeks, and Raphaël Guerreiro are in front of him.

The left-back only played 52 minutes this Bundesliga season and was never enough for more than one short appearance.
The Nuremberg native was able to look back on more minutes in the DFB Cup and was in the starting line-up, among other things, when Bayern were eliminated against Saarbrücken in November.
