BERLIN, Oct. 28 -- Bayern Munich head coach Jupp Heynckes is demanding new strikers to join his side as early as in the next winter-break.

"I will talk to the club leaders soon to discuss what options we have when it comes to new strikers," the 1974 world champion stressed in advance of Friday's Bundesliga duel against RB Leipzig.

The Bavarian club might get into trouble when spearheading Robert Lewandowski needs a break as he is doing a lot of work up front, the former German international said. Several times Heynckes expressed his concern about the lack of center-strikers in the squad in Munich.

The 2013 treble-winning coach said a back-up for Lewandowski is helpful to secure the club' s season goals.

In advance of the 2017-18 season, Bayern leaders decided to abandon plans to increase the clubs box-strikers.

The 72-year-old coach ran out of options for the job up front and had to call up rookie Kwasi Okyere Wriedt in Wednesday's 5-4 penalty win over RB Leipzig in the German Cup.

The striker problem is increasing as Thomas Mueller and French Franck Ribery are sidelined due to injury. James Rodriguez, Kingsley Coman, and Arjen Robben lacked the best shape due to minor injury problems in the last weeks.

Former Chile international Arturo Vidal seems to be far from best shape at present and is in the headlines due to reports about trouble in a local discotheque. Only 19-year-old Fabian Benko would be available for Heynckes to ease the team' s difficulties shortly.
