Bayern are doing well despite rollercoaster week, Kane says
The German champions are without coach Vincent Kompany and several key players through injury ahead of their Champions League clash with Atletico Madrid.
Bayern Munich are maintaining their progress despite a week marked by mixed emotions and setbacks, according to striker Harry Kane. Kane secured the prestigious Ballon d'Or last week, only three days after Bayern's coach Vincent Kompany suffered a collapse during a training session and was hospitalized. Kompany, diagnosed with meningeal irritation, has since been released but is expected to miss a significant amount of time, with an uncertain recovery period ahead.
In addition to Kompany, Bayern will also be without Ismael Saibari and Serge Gnabry, who were injured in their recent 2-2 draw against Borussia Dortmund, forcing the latter into surgery. Furthermore, Jamal Musiala and Luis Diaz are still sidelined, recovering from their injuries. Kane acknowledged the rollercoaster of emotions, both personally and collectively, emphasizing that the team had to navigate through these challenges, ultimately strengthening their unity.
Despite the setbacks, Kane expressed his optimism, stating that Bayern will need to stay focused until the international break later in November when they expect several players to return from injury. Kane himself missed a penalty and hit the post in his recent match against Dortmund, marking his first game back following his Ballon d'Or win.
The current situation presents an opportunity for other team members to showcase their talents and prove their worth, according to Kane.
