Due to Mueller's injury, Heynckes again has to change his team and close a substantial gap. Mueller is sidelined in the Bavarians German cup duel against last season's Bundesliga runner-up RB Leipzig this Wednesday evening due to a torn muscle in his upper thigh.

While the 2017 German Champion announced Mueller would be out for three weeks, German media assume the striker will be sidelined for up to six weeks.

The Bavarian-born striker will not only miss both Leipzig games (Cup and league next Saturday) but the duel against rival Borussia Dortmund, the second leg in the Champions League and Germanys internationals on November 10th and 14th against England and France.

The loss of Mueller turns out to disturb Heynckes' plans to reanimate the Bavarians and secure the clubs goals such as the German national title, Cup, and a successful Champions League campaign. Heynckes recently admitted the current situation is not designed to talk about a great success in the Champions League. The national title is an essential task, Heynckes commented.

A season without a title is what Bayern fears most. Heynckes has to find answers quickly to questions such as: Who will replace Mueller in Wednesday's cup duel in Leipzig?

James Rodriguez or Thiago is the first choice while Bayern's coach at the same time needs to re-structure his midfield. Javi Martinez is most likely to return after an injury break and play next to Sebastian Rudy, Thiago, Arturo Vidal or Corentin Tolisso in midfield behind the attacking line. "We will decide on match day what we do," Heynckes stressed.
