Bayern will pull homegrown players before the avalanche of casualties due to Covid

Bayern Munich has had to resort to the quarry to cover part of the losses due to coronavirus that it has for this Friday’s game against Borussia Mönchengladbach, whose realization is yet to be confirmed.

Given the casualties of 9 players by coronavirus, Bayern has turned to six players from the quarry and the veteran Nicolas Feldhahn, 35, currently captain of the second team that plays in the fourth category of German football.

Among the homegrown players, the presence of Arijon Ibrahimovic y Paul Wanner, both 16 years old, who, if they had minutes tomorrow, could become the youngest players to play an official match with Bayern.

That record is held so far by Jamal Musiala.

They were also incorporated into the first team Bright Arrey-Over, of 18 years, Taylor Both, of 20, Jamie Lawrence, 19, and Lucas copada, of 17.

Part of the reinforcements were with the concentration of the Bayern sub17 in Spain and they had to return urgently to Germany.

Bayern will not be able to count on Manuel Neuer, Dayor Upamecano, Lucas Hernández, Tanguy Nianzou Alphonso Davies, Omar Richards, Corentin Tolisso, Kingsley Coman and Leroy Sané, who have tested positive for covid 19.

What’s more, Bouna Sarr y Eric-Maxim Choupo Moting they are with their national teams in the African Cup.

Josip Stasinic is out due to injury and Leon Goretzka, with a knee problem, he has only trained alone.

Bayern are leaders of the Bundesliga, with a nine-point advantage over Borussia Dortmund.

This Friday’s game has something special since the Gladbach eliminated Bayern from the Cup Germany with a 5-0 win.

The numerous casualties led to a postponement of the match but everything indicates that the German Football League (DFL) does not seem willing to accept a request in that regard.

The regulations indicate that as long as there are 16 players available, the matches must be played.

The Bavarian Prime Minister, Markus Söder, intervened in the discussion and It was in favor of a postponement, claiming that in the current situation there was no level playing field.

Gladbach also has four coronavirus casualties.
