Bayern Munich manager Vincent Kompany, goalkeeper Manuel Neuer and midfielder Joshua Kimmich are doubtful for Wednesday’s Champions League match against Arsenal, assistant coach Aaron Danks said on Tuesday, according to Reuters. Kompany has a virus, Neuer is recovering from a minor injury and Kimmich missed training for personal reasons.
Kompany is resting at home and his involvement will be assessed day by day, Danks said. Neuer has returned to training over the past two days, but Bayern have not yet decided whether he will be available. The German club will also be without winger Michael Olise, who is suspended.
Bayern are seeking to return to winning ways in the Champions League after drawing 3-3 with Norwegian club Viking last week. They nevertheless approached the match against Arsenal with confidence after beating Leipzig 6-1 in the league on Saturday. Danks said the match would be decided by fine margins and called on his players to prepare for every situation and play without fear.
The Bayern-Arsenal match is part of the Champions League fixtures on 20 October, alongside PSG-Barcelona, as indicated in the fixture schedule.
