Harry Kane has been forced to settle for a place on the bench for the second consecutive match. Bayern Munich boss Vincent Kompany has opted to stick with Nicolas Jackson for the high-stakes Bundesliga showdown against Bayer Leverkusen.

Bayern Munich head coach Vincent Kompany has revealed that Harry Kane is poised for a return to the starting line-up following a full week of training. While the England captain's availability provides a significant boost, the German giants are currently navigating a triple injury blow sustained during their midweek European exploits. Kompany has expressed relief that the setbacks affecting his key stars are not long-term as the club enter a crucial run of fixtures.

Bayern Munich manager Vincent Kompany has confirmed that veteran goalkeeper Sven Ulreich will start between the sticks for the club’s upcoming high-stakes fixtures. The decision follows a double blow to the Bavarians' goalkeeping department, with Manuel Neuer suffering a recurring calf injury and his deputy Jonas Urbig ruled out with a concussion. The club is prioritising long-term fitness over short-term gain as the season enters its decisive phase.

Bayern Munich are flying high on the pitch under Vincent Kompany, but internal politics are threatening to overshadow their success. Sporting director Max Eberl finds himself in a precarious position as board members question his long-term suitability. Despite a contract running until 2027, the hierarchy is reportedly split on whether he is the right man to lead the club’s sporting vision.

FC Bayern's gala performance against Atalanta has had a double impact. On the one hand, because of the injured trio of Davies, Urbig and Musiala. On the other hand, because of the yellow card suspensions for Kimmich and Olise. Is a longer suspension looming? The latest news and rumours about the German record champions.
