Das Bayern-Duo Kompany und Freund sieht man nur ganz selten auf Beobachtungs-Tour!

Overview

  • Germany coach Julian Nagelsmann lauded Kompany’s calming presence after Bayern’s 2-1 win over Borussia Dortmund and said they regularly exchange views on German players.
  • On Monday, Kompany and sporting director Christoph Freund observed rehabilitation drills for Alphonso Davies and Hiroki Ito at Säbener Straße.
  • Davies and Ito worked through crossing, heading, passing and running exercises as they progress from significant knee and foot injuries sustained in March.
  • Kompany said Davies’ recovery “looks very good” and indicated a possible December return, earlier than the initial target of January.
  • Bayern now prepare for a Champions League meeting with Club Brugge that carries personal weight for Kompany after racist abuse from Brugge fans in 2021, with the team currently on an 11-match winning start to the season.
