The absence of these players, especially Kim Min-jae requires a strategic approach from coach Thomas Tuchel to ensure the team continuing the progress. I think this is a big test for Tuchel on  how he will guide bayern with tough compotition in the league posed by Leverkusen. It's well-known that Tuchel hasn't had full support from Bayern Fans who demand a much better performances and a convincing competition like they used to.

Tuchel must assess the team's current defensive roster and potentially explore the transfer market for a temporary solution. The replacement should be able to seamlessly integrate into the team's playing style and contribute defensively. With several key players absent, Tuchel might need to rotate the squad wisely during this period. He needs to manage player fatigue and ensure that the remaining squad members are in peak condition for crucial domestic and Champions League matches. Bayern Munich has a strong squad depth, and this period without key players is an opportunity for others to step up. Players who have had limited playing time thus far might seize this chance to prove their worth and contribute meaningfully to the team.
