Due to load management, Bayern star misses out against St Pauli

After their first competitive defeat of the season, FC Bayern want to get back on track in the Bundesliga against FC St. Pauli.

For this, coach Vincent Kompany is relying on a significantly changed lineup compared to the 1:3 loss at Arsenal.

Among others, defensive leader Dayot Upamecano is missing. The 27-year-old is being given a chance to rest against the Kiezkicker, who have been winless for eight games.

“Dayot Upamecano is not in the squad today; the French international defender is being given a break due to load management," announced the record champions on their social media channels.

In his place, Kim Min-jae moves into central defense and will play alongside Jonathan Tah.
