Bayern Munich's Joshua Kimmich has aired his frustration at not playing regularly under Carlo Ancelotti. 

A favourite under Josep Guardiola, the German international has made just three starts in all competitions since the turn of the year and has completed just 90 minutes once. 

This, despite the fact Bayern lead RasenBallsport Leipzig at the top of the Bundesliga by 10 points and have room to rotate.

"It does not matter whether I understand it or not," Kimmich said after being an unused susbstitue in Saturday's 3-0 win over Eintracht Frankfurt. 

"The fact is I'm not satisfied with it and I want to change it.

"The coach knows I can play as a No.6 and at right-back, also in the centre of defence. From that he has many options to use me.

"I know my weaknesses and work on them -- especially when I'm not playing, I try to do more.

"In the Bundesliga we have a good lead now and maybe [the team] will be rotated."

Kimmich has made 18 appearances in the league this season -- 10 as a starter -- and has scored four goals. 

Last season, his first at the club, saw him start 15 games throughout the league campaign, appearing as a substitute on a further eight occasions.
