What are Bayern Munich’s options to partner Joshua Kimmich in central midfield?
Injuries to Aleksandar Pavlović and João Palhinha, who were already competing against each other for one spot, have opened the door to someone else to play alongside Joshua Kimmich in Bayern Munich’s midfield.
What are Vincent Kompany’s options? bundesliga.com takes a look…
First thing to get out the way is the fact that this is very much a competition to play alongside Kimmich. He may be playing at right-back as captain of Germany, but at Bayern he is absolutely nailed on in midfield, and it appears there’s no room for debate there.
The 29-year-old is the only player to have featured for every single minute under Kompany prior to the November international break, and he’s spent the whole time as a nominal midfielder. There have been in-game tactical variations where he drops between centre-backs or even wide of them, but his role has been as the central cog.
