Overview
- Kimmich misses Sunday’s match with persistent ankle problems dating to November, though he has resumed on-field running and initial sprints under rehab supervision.
- Musiala trained almost fully this week but is withheld from the squad for Wolfsburg to avoid rushing the final step of his comeback.
- Alphonso Davies and Sacha Boey are sidelined by illness, and Nicolas Jackson remains at the Africa Cup, further tightening Bayern’s options.
- Bayern face a heavy slate through late January with five Bundesliga fixtures and two Champions League games.
- Bayern have never lost a Bundesliga home match to Wolfsburg, and a win could stretch their lead over Dortmund to nearly 11 points after the BVB draw in Frankfurt.
