Sat Jan 18 13:40:00 UTC 2025: ## Kompany Rings in Three Changes for Bayern’s Wolfsburg Clash
**Munich, Germany** – Bayern Munich manager Vincent Kompany has made four changes to his starting XI for tonight’s Bundesliga clash against VfL Wolfsburg, a surprising decision after their 5-0 rout of Hoffenheim. The match will be broadcast live on Sky and available via the BILD live ticker.
The biggest surprise is the continued absence of Jamal Musiala (21) from the starting lineup. Despite recovering from a bout of influenza and appearing as a substitute against Hoffenheim, Musiala will begin the game on the bench. His place is taken by new signing, Olise, who will start alongside Leroy Sané, who also impressed in the previous match. Other notable changes see Laimer, Upamecano, and Goretzka starting in place of Müller, Guerreiro, Dier and Pavlovic.
Bayern’s starting XI will be: Neuer – Laimer, Dier, Upamecano, Davies – Goretzka, Kimmich – Coman, Olise, Sané – Kane.
Wolfsburg, under manager Ralph Hasenhüttl, arrives in Munich in strong form, having won their last two matches. Their starting lineup will be: Grabara – Fischer, Vavro, Koulierakis, Maehle – Arnold, Gerhardt – Wimmer, Dardai, Amoura – Nmecha. A repeat of their thrilling 3-2 encounter from the first half of the season is anticipated.
Meanwhile, Bayern’s backup goalkeeper, Daniel Peretz, remains sidelined for ten days due to a kidney contusion. In an unusual move, Peretz took to Instagram to update fans on his recovery, stating he expects to return in three weeks. The match is crucial for Bayern to maintain their lead over Leverkusen.
