According to Tz and Absolut Fussball journalist Philipp Kessler, Bayern Munich back-up striker Nicolas Jackson will be the next player to be left out of the squad.
Jackson will reportedly not dress for Bayern Munich’s DFB-Pokal match vs. RB Leipzig later today:
According to Absolut Bayern, Nicolas Jackson has now been sidelined. The Senegalese player will have to watch Wednesday evening’s DFB Cup quarter-final against RB Leipzig at the Allianz Arena from the sidelines.
At Tuesday’s press conference,
coach Vincent Kompany announced that he would have to disappoint another star player . The reason for this is actually quite positive: all the players of the German record champions are currently fit.
If all the professionals remain fit, Kompany plans to rotate players in the stands over the coming weeks . Most recently, Kim was the one who missed out, as Bayern Munich have defenders like Josip Stanisic and Hiroki Ito available, who can play both center-back and full-back.
It would not be shocking for Jackson to be the next player left out based on his performances, but as the only other true striker on the squad aside of Harry Kane, it was thought that Jackson might have a leg up in sticking on the game day roster. If this report is true, that is clearly not the case.
