Ancelotti happy with current squad

FC Bayern München manager Carlo Ancelotti says he is happy with his squad and insists there will be no new arrivals before the close of the transfer window.
Die Rotten are currently suffering from an injury crisis after the news that winger Kingsley Coman had suffered an ankle injury, but the Italian feels he'll have a competitive squad available after the first international break of the new season.
The France international now joins defenders Jerome Boateng, Holger Badstuber and the midfield trio of Xabi Alonso, Thiago Alcantara and Renato Sanches on the treatment table, along with forwards Arjen Robben and Douglas Costa.
Ancelotti will travel with his squad to fourth-tier side CZ Jean in the first cup game of the season and then start their Bundesliga title defence next Friday against Werder Bremen.
"I am happy with this squad," the 57-year-old told reporters. "We don't need new players.
"Coman has an ankle injury, but it's not a major injury. We hope that he returns after the international break. Robben, Douglas Costa and Renato Sanches could already play against Bremen [next week], but we want to use the international break and take no risks," he added.
