Bayern has suffered a severe injury to this season's end, with Jamal Musiala becoming the last of a long list.
Musala suffered a serious muscle injury during the 3-1 victory in Bundesliga over Augsburg on Friday, and there is a possibility that it will lose the rest of the season, the AP reports, Periscope.
Musala thus joins Dayot Upamecano, Alphoonso Davies, Kingsley Coman, Manuel Neuer and Hiroki Ito who will be missing in this Tuesday match at “Allianz Arena”.
Serge Gnabry, who is in good shape, and Thomas Mueller, who will leave at the end of the season after 25 years with Bayern, are on line to take Musiala's place in the bavarez formation.
One of them will be listed along with the irreplaceable Michael Olyse, Leroy Sane and Harry Kane, with the latter being hit in a cavia against Augsburg, but is expected to be good for confronting Inter.
Captain Joshua Kimmitch is the main pillar of midfield, but Compony is facing a critical dilemma whether he will be partner with Joao Palhinha or Leon Goretzka.
Defence shortages imply that the beginning for Eric Dier, Kim Minjae and Konrad Laimer in the rear are safe, but Company can change its left guard and stay with Raphael Guerreiro, who has more experience in that area than Josip Stanisic.
Number “a” Neuer has not yet been excluded from the confrontation, but his chances are too slim, so Jonas Ubrig must act as the last line of defence.
Bayern's possible initial formation, 4-2-3-1: Ubrig; Laimer, Kim, Dier, Guerreiro; Palhinha, Kimmitch; Olyse, Mueller, Sane; Kane.
