The Bayern Munich coach, Vincent Kompany, appeared before the media this Friday to provide a crucial update on the physical condition of several key players, especially Aleksandar Pavlovic, Jamal Musiala, and Alphonso Davies.

“Aleksandar Pavlović was substituted. However, the initial news is good; he could return to training in the coming days,” stated Kompany, easing concerns. The coach added that “It’s nothing serious,” although he left his participation in the next match up in the air, noting: “we’ll see if he can play tomorrow.”
Regarding the situation of left-back Alphonso Davies, the progress is notable and his return is very close. Kompany confirmed that, although “he’s not quite ready for tomorrow,” his reintegration into the team will happen “soon.” This suggests that the Canadian could be available for the immediately following commitments.
The recovery that requires more patience is that of the attacking midfielder Jamal Musiala. The Belgian coach indicated that the process is slower, but he was positive about the timeline for his return. “Jamal Musiala is still a bit further away, but we are optimistic. I hope he will be training with us before Christmas,” the coach shared.
