Lewandowski: Bayern are lacking leadership on the pitch

The Polish striker feels that current culture has seen younger players become more reserved and that the Bavarians are suffering as a result

Star striker Robert Lewandowski believes Bayern Munich are suffering from a lack of on-field leadership.

The German champions parted ways with head coach Niko Kovac at the start of the week and lie fifth in the Bundesliga going into a crucial 'Der Klassiker' date with Borussia Dortmund on Saturday.

Hansi Flick has been placed in charge on an interim basis but the dugout is not the only place where Bayern are in need of more defined leaders.
