Bayern could call upon 16-year-old defender against Gladbach

A spate of ill-timed injuries in defence could open the door for Bayern’s 16-year-old centre-half.

With the Bundesliga title wrapped up, Kicker are reporting that Vincent Kompany could call upon Cassiano Kiala on Saturday.

Kiala, who is just 16 years old, could make the Bayern first team squad soon given their list of defensive absences.

Dayot Upamecano and Hiroki Itō remain sidelined indefinitely for the Bavarian giants. 

Kim Min-jae (Achilles tendon problems) only trained individually today at Sabener Straße. 

Eric Dier, who suffered a knock against Leipzig, didn’t train with the team today but should be ready for Gladbach.

Although Dier is expected to partner Josip Stanisic in defence, Kiala could be drafted in as a substitute option.
