Vincent Kompany Arsenal Bayern Munich Bayern UEFA Champions League
  • Bayern Munich head coach Vincent Kompany is a major doubt for Wednesday night's Champions League clash against Arsenal at the Allianz Arena as he struggles to recover from a viral infection affecting his legs.
  • Assistant manager Aaron Danks represented Bayern at the pre-match press conference, confirming that Kompany is resting at home and explaining that contingency plans for remote communication are in place should he miss the game.
  • Bayern face further squad uncertainties ahead of the fixture, with goalkeeper Manuel Neuer returning to training following a foot injury and midfielder Joshua Kimmich missing Tuesday's session due to personal reasons.

  • Arsenal travel to Munich with a perfect record in this season's competition following wins over Napoli and Lille, as they aim to go one step further after losing last season's final to Paris Saint-Germain.
