Kompany awaits Bayern medical meeting before final Dortmund line-up call | OneFootball

Bayern Munich coach Vincent Kompany has provided an update on his squad ahead of Saturday's Bundesliga top-of-the-table clash with Borussia Dortmund at Signal Iduna Park.

Manuel Neuer is racing against time to be fit for the game, having missed the last couple of matches due to a muscle injury.

“With Manuel Neuer, it's looking good. We had thought he'd be out for longer, but he might train with us today, then we'll discuss it right up until the game. It's all positive – but maybe not for tomorrow... We're discussing it with Manu, though. If not, we'll go with Jonas Urbig, who's always filled in for him very well,” said Kompany.

Meanwhile, Konrad Laimer should be ready to start, while Alphonso Davies will miss out, though his injury does not appear to be as serious as first thought.

“Konny [Laimer] has trained all week. And Phonzy [Davies] is running – he's doing well too and will be back for the important month of March. We'll see next week,” Kompany said.

Bayern have faced other fitness concerns during the week. Aleksandar Pavlovic and Michael Olise have had their training loads managed amid reports of minor knocks, while Hiroki Ito and Kim Min-jae reportedly had to cut Thursday's session short.

Commenting on the wider squad situation, Kompany said:

"It looks good at the moment. It's unlikely everyone will be able to play from the start, but we can put out a very strong starting line-up. I won't get the final information until our medical meeting in the next half-hour, though."
