Hummels package, Kovac has only 13 field players available

Bayern Munich's squad will be reduced to a low on Tuesday in the Champions League against Benfica after the announcement of the Mats Hummels, a victim of gastroenteritis, who joins five other absentees.

Only one point will be enough for Bayern to qualify for the round of 16, but the coach Niko Kovac only has 13 field players from his professional squad after Tolisso, Coman, Thiago and James, arrested for serious injury, and Gnabry, touched with adductors.

Kovac's situation is extremely precarious before the match, and several media are speculating on his dismissal by the weekend, as Bayern is playing far from its level for two months.

German champion in the last six seasons, the club currently occupies 5th place in the Bundesliga nine points behind leader Dortmund.
