Kompany gives team update ahead of Leverkusen showdown | OneFootball

Bayern Munich coach Vincent Kompany has no fresh injury concerns ahead of Saturday's clash with title rivals Bayer Leverkusen.

Apart from Jaoo Palhinha (illness), Alphonso Davies (hamstring) and Daniel Peretz (kidney), the Bayern boss should have a full squad to choose from.

“Hopefully and normally there aren't any real changes to the squad from the last game in terms of who's available and who isn't," Kompany told reporters at his pre-match press conference.

"The injured players aren't far from returning to training. Normally we'd first have Joao Palhinha, then Alphonso Davies and then Daniel Peretz back.”

As for how the two teams will approach the game, Kompany is prepared for different scenarios.

“Leverkusen have shown they can go for a full press when they need but can also defend deeper. We're in a spell where we don't need to think too much about the opposition,” said the Bayern boss.

"We know they can defend deep but also press high. We need to be prepared for both. We've often pressed high, which has worked well. But when someone plays through, we can also defend deep. We're prepared for both.

“We want to have the ball and score goals, no matter what phase of the game,” emphasized Kompany.

The game will take place at the BayArena on Saturday at 18:30 CET.
