Pep Guardiola: 'Bayern Munich must act on replacement for Javi Martinez'

Bayern Munich coach Pep Guardiola says that his team needs to act quickly on signing a replacement for Javi Martinez following the midfielder's injury.

Bayern Munich boss Pep Guardiola has said that he plans to make a replacement signing quickly following a long-term injury to midfielder Javi Martinez.

The Spaniard damaged a cruciate knee ligament as Bayern lost out to Borussia Dortmund 2-0 in the DFL-Supercup on Wednesday, with the Munich boss now stating that he needs to make a new signing immediately.

"We need a new player," Guardiola told reporters at a press conference.

"We have to react and there are candidates. There are many candidates but only a few who would do for us. With this injury we have a special situation and now we must act. There are still two weeks."

Bayern get their Bundlesiga campaign underway next weekend when they welcome Wolfsburg to Munich.
