Bayern's CEO Karl-Heinz Rummenigge said the club would be aware of the problem but is still in doubt about the quality available in the winter break.

"It is a problem to get the requested quality at that stage of the season. And, a new striker would have to be comfortable to mostly sit on the bench and only occasionally be on the pitch. We would have to tell him, we want you, but Lewandowski is doing 95 percent of the games," the former German international commented.

Pundits such as former Bayer Leverkusen sports-director Reiner Calmund and former Bayern Munich midfielder Thomas Strunz spoke about Bayern to take a high risk not to have enough strikers. Calmund recommended to at least getting one more striker in the next winter-break.

"I can't understand that Bayern takes that much risk. Just imagine Lewandowski is out due to an injury when the knock-out stage of the Champions League has to be played next year," Calmund emphasized.

Strunz said he considers Lewandowski as Bayern's weakest point when it comes to an injury. "Mueller has played this position, but it is not his best part. Bayern needs a box-striker to secure its goals," Strunz told German media.

An additional striker enables the coach to change to a tactical system with two strikers, Calmund said.

In 2013, when Heynckes and Bayern won the treble, the side could count on the abilities of three spearheading strikers such as Mario Mandzukic, Mario Gomez, and Claudio Pizarro. To have that many options were one of the main reasons for the stunning success, Heynckes said.
