"If everything goes well today, he'll be there. That's a great thing," said Kompany at his pre-match news conference."
"He exudes a lot of positive energy. At the moment, even the little things are great. You appreciate everything much more. Jamal is experiencing that right now, as is Alphonso Davies. I want to protect both of them. The priority right now is integration. "At some point, they'll reach the level they were at before their injuries. When you play all the time, your fitness comes from playing. Now he's had time to rebuild his body, strengthen his mobility and speed. That's why injuries give you time to come back even stronger.""
"We have a lot of absences at right-back, but we've solved that problem in the past," added Kompany. "There are lots of other players who can play there. At the start of the season, we had a lot of absences at left-back. "The lads will miss a few games,"
Jamal Musiala, 22, has been sidelined since suffering a fractured fibula and dislocated ankle at the Club World Cup in July. He has been back in full training for two weeks and could be available for the first time this season if recovery continues. Integration and protection are priorities for Musiala and Alphonso Davies as both rebuild strength, mobility and speed after injury, with fitness to return through playing. Bayern, unbeaten in the league, face selection problems at right-back after Konrad Laimer suffered a torn left calf muscle that will keep him out for weeks; Josip Stanisic is also absent and Joshua Kimmich may fill in.
